908059 - Return the new merged group when searching for a merged group

Status: VERIFIED FIXED

(Participation Infrastructure :: Phonebook, defect)

Description

[William Reynolds [:williamr]]

The group 'webdev' has been merged into 'web development'. When searching for 'webdev', the merged group does not appear. This can be confusing for Mozillians who know a group by a specific name and find out that the group name no longer returns results.

Suggested experience:
When searching for a group 'A' that has been merged into 'B', show group 'B' in the results.

Current experience:
When searching for a group 'A' that has been merged into 'B', no results are return.

Nice catch, thanks for reporting William!

While this should be definitely fixed, I suggest that's not blocking the playdoh release since it wasn't introduced by this upgrade.

This feature appears to be working on the user-facing and administrator-facing site, in staging.

1) I merged several groups into amo-editors (https://mozillians.allizom.org/admin/groups/group/249/)
2) Searching for one of those groups on the frontend returns amo-editors (https://mozillians.allizom.org/en-US/search/?q=barcelona)
3) Searching for one of those groups in admin returns amo-editors (https://mozillians.allizom.org/admin/groups/group/?q=barcelona)

Thanks!
