Hi there

I'm having a problem with the media library search function within admin. Basically, if I want to find an existing image in the media library, I can't use the search box to find it, as there are always no results (I've tested using words I know for sure are in the image names). This works on other themes, but on any website I've made using BigFeature, the search function (within the backend) just doesn't come up with any results. Makes finding an image quite a chore so was hoping you might already be aware of this and there might be an easy fix?

Some example sites where this isn't working:

Thanks

I was not aware of this. Will fix it.

found the problem. here's how to fix it:

1. edit library/functions/hooks.php.
2. search for "$query->is_search".
3. replace with "$query->is_search && !is_admin()"
