    Admin search only working for some users on 6.1.6

    If I log in as the site administrator on a 6.1.6 site I am working with, I can use the "Search" tool on the "Content" pane as I would expect. However a couple of other users with Administrator permissions get no results back for exactly the same search terms.

    Given that I get results, I assume this is to do with permissions rather than indexing.

    Edit to add: Logging in as a different user, I get exactly the same result- searches that work as the Site Administrator do not work for another user with administrative privileges. There are no errors in the JavaScript console, so it looks as though maybe this is a problem on the server side.

    Any ideas what I need to do to resolve this?

    After getting the usual silence on this question, I managed to sift through the source code a little and see that part of the search is based on the user's home node.

    In 6.1.6 it appears that this fails if the user's starting node is not the base "Content" node of the entire site- nothing is returned.
