Hi
Thanks Denis for raising this again, it's indeed a pretty annoying issue

Hi Devs,
Anyone of you will surely agree that the hidden document feature implemented
in the store is very bad.
The way this "feature" is implemented should never have been accepted,
it just broke an API for something that is not really related to
storage...
See
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3925 and its dependencies.
IMO, it has never been fully implemented,
probably in the hope of a better
way to go, and it is so for too long. I think it is the time to take some
decision about it, or I do not see the direction and I do not understand
where we want to go ?
I see 3 possibilities:
1) we remove it and found other way to solve the problem it solves, which
are currently limited to the Blog, ColorThemes and Panels applications in a
standard XE.
+1
2) we keep it as it is, since it could be hard
to implement higher in the
current implementation, but then we need to fix the places where it cause
issues.
-1, I can see it as a long term solution. It's something to say we
will fix it latter it's something else to validate it. Adding a
boolean to searchDocument as indicated in
http://jira.xwiki.org/jira/browse/XWIKI-3925 would already be a lot
better than the current situation.
Yes... Even if a lot of extensions/snippet will have to be changed to
set that boolean (copy space, selective export, etc.)
