How can I search private issues as an admin?
I've got a lot of issues and I would like to search through them to find out how I solved some earlier problem. But the searching doesn't seem to include those issues. Even if my search term is one word matching the case of a keyword in an issue, that issue still won't show up.
This seems like a pretty key feature so I thought maybe I'm missing something.

You can't yet. It's a little complex to allow support users to search all private issues, and other users to search public + their private issues with Sphinx. We want to make sure it's tested very well so there aren't leaks.

Understood. I'll definitely be making use of that feature when it's available. I can work around it for now by using my mail app as an indexing engine.

We just deployed a fix to search private issues if you're a supporter. Sorry it took so long!
