In a support thread titled “Search sort not working?”, Loki reports that searching for closed topics sorted by “Latest Post” or “Latest Topic” fails to show recently closed posts. zogstrip clarifies that hidden topics (marked with a crossed eye) are excluded from search results. Loki asks if admins can search for unlisted topics, prompting dax to suggest using ?status=unlisted in the URL. However, Loki finds this yields no results unless they navigate to /latest afterward — even though the URL changes — revealing hidden topics. Searching with status:unlisted also returns nothing. mtan asks dax for clarification, who corrects the URL to https://forums.wyzecam.com/latest?status=unlisted and notes that admin login is required to view results. The behavior is inconsistent and unintuitive, suggesting a bug or documentation gap in how unlisted topics are surfaced in search and sorting.
I closed a post a few minutes ago:
Then I tried to find it by searching for closed posts, sorted by Latest Post:
The latest post it finds is 2 days ago. I know there are a bunch of posts that were created and closed more recently. Sorting by Latest Topic didn’t do any better:
Am I doing something wrong or not understanding how it’s supposed to work?
The topic “Home Position Shortcut” is hidden (cf. the crossed 
) so it won’t show up in search.
So there’s no way for an admin/mod to search for an unlisted topic?
You can search for unlisted adding ?status=unlisted to your site URL, https://forums.wyzecam.com/?status=unlisted
Very strange results. If I go to this URL, I get nothing:
However, if I then click “Latest”, I get pages of results of hidden topics, even though the URL now says “https://forums.wyzecam.com/latest”
Also, if I do a search for “status:unlisted”, I get nothing.
I supposed going to Wyze Forum then clicking Latest is a workaround, but pretty clunky.
Something here does seem amiss.
@dax Do you know what’s going on here?
Oh yes, the correct URL to use is https://forums.wyzecam.com/latest?status=unlisted. Obviously you must be logged in to the site as an admin to view the results.
