In 1.4.1 (2.9) search, admin link doesn't appear in UI

Description

To test enable search on a server
search.enable=true

Go to a site logged on as admin, add search to the site.

A link to admin should appear but it doesn't. It works in 2.8.1 and the latest trunk. I'm not sure why it's not appearing in 2.9. I can't find anyway to make it appear. You can manually get to the admin page by right clicking the reset tool button (to open the tool view), then replacing "?panel=Main" with "/admin/index"

So the admin still exists, and admin can access it, just no link!

nobody available to work on this issue. The focus is currently on maintaining Sakai 10 and developing Sakai 11.

This does not affect Sakai 10 but is an issue in 2.9 still and is the reason for lowering the priority. In Sakai 10 the default is the ElasticSearch impl and searchServer is always true.

I think we need to have a new boolean property, search.show.admin.link, that controls the display of the Admin link. It should be "true" by default but its setting is trumped by searchServer@org.sakaiproject.search.api.SearchService=true.

For installations not using searchServer but who still have "client" nodes, the new property must be set to "false".

Yea, I'm not sure the fix then. By default it's set to false. If you set it to true, it appears.

But if you set it to false, and someone uses admin on a node that is intended to be a client then it seems to cause a major problem (). So what's the logic? That it's not a client?
How do you tell that it's a client? Based on searchServerUrl being set? https://confluence.sakaiproject.org/display/SEARCH/Home

if (isAdmin() && (!searchServerUrl))

??

Not everyone uses searchServer mode (indeed I could never get it too work), so the fix should not depende on setting this mode.

Won't Fix
