Hi Rob,

I'm not sure if this will come in a new release, because it's a rather difficult one.
Next to the state (published), the query also uses a publish_up and publish_down dates that are valid at the moment of the search.

The code to hack is in the file components/com_form2contentsearch/class.form2contentsearch.php on line 84.
There's this block:

// Only select published articles
$query->join('INNER', '#__content c ON f.reference_id = c.id');
$query->where('c.state = 1');
$query->where('(c.publish_up < \''.$currentDate->toSql().'\' OR c.publish_up = \''.$nullDate.'\')');
$query->where('(\''.$currentDate->toSql().'\' < c.publish_down OR c.publish_down = \''.$nullDate.'\')');

You can strip out the c.state=1 statement, but possibly you want to remove the publish_up and publish_down conditions as well?

Hope this helps.

best,
Julien
