• Steps in 6.2.x *

1. Add folder1 and folder2 to the root folder (home) to the DM of a site (from control panel), and folder11 and folder12 as subfolders of folder1.

2. Add the next documents:

file-1.txt to the folder1
file-11.txt to the folder11
file-12.txt to the folder12.
file-2.txt to the folder2

3. Add the DM portlet to a page, and configure setting the folder1 as the root folder of this DM.

4. Search by the word "file" using the DM search bar.
Results -> file-1.txt, file-11.txt and file-12.txt

5. Go into folder12, and search "file".
Results -> file-12.txt

6. Click in "Search Everywere"
Results -> file-1.txt, file-11.txt, file-12.txt, file-2.txt.
Expected -> file-1.txt, file-11.txt, file-12.txt because this DM is limited to the folder1.

STEPS TO REPRODUCE IN 6.1.X

Search in folders is not recursive in 6.1.x, this was introduced as a new feature in LPS-22629 that could't be backported, so the reproduction steps are others:

1. Add folder1 and folder2 to the root folder (home) to the DM of a site (from control panel), and folder11 and folder12 as subfolders of folder1.

2. Add the next documents:

file-1.txt to the folder1
file-11.txt to the folder11
file-12.txt to the folder12.
file-2.txt to the folder2

3. Add the DM portlet to a page, and configure setting the folder1 as the root folder of this DM.

4. Search by the word "file" using the DM search bar.
Results -> file-1.txt

5. Go into folder12, and search "file".
Results -> file-12.txt

6. Click in "Search Everywere"
Results -> file-1.txt, file-11.txt, file-12.txt, file-2.txt.
Expected -> file-1.txt because this DM is limited to the folder1 and this is the file in the rootFolder
