Question
Why did AEM AaCS remove the search from fileupload?
We just migrated from AEM 6.5 on premise to AEM as a Cloud Service. The fileupload no longer features the ability to search. Where it used to say "Type to search" now just says "Select Path". This feels like a step back in AEM functionalities.
I know the "fix" is to replace the fileupload with pathfield, but the UI is different and it doesn't allow for file uploads directly. So you still end up loosing some features.
Not sure how to request a feature but I think the fileupload should be fitted with an assetpicker search like before. Happy to hear any suggestions here as now we have a team of authors complaining that they need to swim across multiple folders to pick a featured image.
To be clear, I'm talking about
cq/gui/components/authoring/dialog/fileupload
Here is how it's used on page v3
