with recent versions of fossil, cli search triggers a warning:

fossil search -R REPO.fossil --fts SEARCHTERM
Search of check-ins is disabled on this repository.
Enable using "fossil fts-config enable check-in".

on a REPO that has document/ticket/wiki/technote search enabled and check-in/forum/help search disabled.

Seems like the (implicit) --all tries check-ins in any case. Manually restricting to --scope dwte or newstyle --docs --wiki --tickets --technotes makes it work.

Wouldn't it be sensible that the default (and --all) do only consider the activated domains? Was like that before (at least with fossil version from up to around 2025-01-15 - tested with a more or less random version 28a84e7592 i had around)

another small glitch: it does search (and find) on internal help, even if that is disabled:

fossil search -R REPO.fossil --fts --bi-help optionally
The "/event" webpage
     ... Display an existing tech-note identified by its ID, optionally at a specific version, and optionally with additional ...
