Hi.

How should staff search invisible topics?  
I mean, if there is some method to search it.

I use [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true), and I made this query and saved me!

```sql
SELECT id, user_id, title, views
FROM topics
WHERE visible = false
ORDER BY id desc
LIMIT 10

```

Without [Data Explorer](https://meta.discourse.org/t/32566?silent=true), is there any other way to look for the topics that are invisible?
