The change I am proposing for plugins wouldn’t directly affect the site search, unless you wanted to forward-port the “navigation” block plugin from 2.4.x.
Site search was implemented here:
https://github.com/pkp/pkp-lib/issues/2010
But when I actually try to hit /ojs/index.php/index/search/, I get ##user.authorization.journalDoesNotPublish##, which seems odd on multiple levels. If you can replicate this (or are experiencing something different but also problematic), I would follow up on this “Global Search” forum post with your experience, or open an issue in Github if you can provide a technical bug report.
