Question Advance Search: Place Burial

I just tried to do Advance Search to find Place of Burial. Per image, it's not in the list of optional search fields.
 

Sorry, cannot reproduce on the demo server:
 

Note that the list is not alphabetical, it's easy to overlook a field.
 

Not alphabetical but as you show in the Demo version, Date and Place of Event are together. Per my image, the Place is not there or anywhere else. 

Try clearing your current session (log out then log back in). 

Its definitely there normally, but once used it is taken off the list for the current session. It ‘should’ therefore be displayed on the form (under “Individual”). If it isn’t, perhaps a glitch that should fixed by clearing the session. 

Insanity!! I did the log out/in and yes, it appeared. However, criteria wasn't finding results so wanted to do second attempt and couldn't because it  (Place) disappeared.
I have enough log outs (unintentional) so to add to my list isn't helpful. Is there reason for the 'disapperance'?

That sounds like this bug report:
github.com/fisharebest/webtrees/issues/5054

It’s fixed, but you’ll need to wait for the next release, unless you want to copy changes referred to in that bug report.

Thanks kiwi, I'll wait.

No, we have a different bug here. Please report it.
Issue 5054 concerns the value of an extra search field only, not the list of what fields are available.

(It gets removed from the list to prevent two identical search fields on one form, but the exclude list should be reset on form initialization)

(Still can't reproduce it btw on 'stable' demo, as visitor)

berkoor - do not know how to report bug. I'm looking at index of forum.

I DID replicate onDemo. Search field "Place of Burial"; criteria "toronto"; failed. tried again and field wasn't in dropdown.

Reporting is easy (via top menu Links - Bug Reporting) but requires a GitHub account.

But a bug which cannot be reproduced can also not be fixed. And I have troubles reproducing it, I don't get the issue. Can anyone else reproduce it? I've tried it as visitor, logged in as member or editor, in Safari and Chrome. But I don't get the issue.

Exact steps I took:

• log out & log in
• menu Search - Advanced Search
• bottom of the first part of the form, field "Add more fields" use the drop-down and select "Place of Burial" (could use Place of Adoption also at the top, should make no difference)
• fill any bit of text in the field directly right of the dropdown (which gets ignored, that is issue 5054) and press [Enter]
• The form gets reloaded with the "Place of burial" added to the bottom of the top part of the form.
• A location can be entered in "Place of Burial".
• Going into the drop-down for adding extra search fields will have the "Place of Burial" omitted, because it already is on the form so that is normal.
• Use the search with the extra field, visit another page
• Go back to page Advanced Search
• Now look at the drop-down of extra search fields. Does it contain "Place of burial" or not?

That is the issue as I understood it. Not? Where did I go wrong? What do you do different?

Also I noticed your image does not show the interesting part of the form just above that drop-down
 
Notice  "Place of burial" is on the form, but not on the drop-down.

• Going into the drop-down for adding extra search fields will have the "Place of Burial" omitted, because it already is on the form so that is normal.
• Use the search with the extra field, visit another page

This is the problem. If the results are not as I wish (no results) and I wish to try again, I cannot as Place of Burial is now omitted. Why can't I simply scroll back to the "adding extra search fields" and change criteria?
Not sure what you mean by the next step - visit another page.

You posted a link to rhe demo-stable release, which contains the error.

Try the demo-dev release, which contains a fix.

Went to the "latest beta" to try Advanced Search. However, found another problem: there is only the dropdown menu to select type of search, nowhere to enter criteria. So, couldn't test. I've included images showing =19.5pxdifference.
 
Latest Beta: Notice the one field as dropdown menu.
  ]
Current release: Notice the two fields: dropdown menu and text field.

Greg explained that in the bug issue I gave the link for. The relevant part is :

We cannot add the search-value on the first page. We do not know which type of edit control (date/place/value) to create until after the field is selected.So, it is still a two-step process (add field, add value), but we no longer require a value on the first page.

So select the field from the drop down then click search. Then you can enter the place you want. A little awkward, but necessary. Not a big deal IMHO.

Okay,

1. I went to Advance Search. 
2. Add More Fields.
3. Selected Place of Burial.
4. Enter criteria Toronto, Mount Sinai Memorial Park Cemetery, Ontario, Canada.  
5. Search.
6. No results!
7. Place of Burial still shows but entry field does not. So cannot repeat.

There are results. Guaranteed. I cannot repeat the search without leaving the page and returning and starting over .If it's two-step, so-be-it. But I should be able to get results. I even shortened criteria to just Toronto and got no results.

I see there's an update so will upgrade PHP to 8.3 to meet requirements and install. And then try again.

I tried the current release of demo and see the process and results. Trying to upgrade. my webtrees (both PHP and version) and now have benchmark to go on.

As this is a two-step process, and it's not immediately obvious how it works, is it worth adding a note to the page to explain to the user how they should use the 'Add more fields' option.

Something like:
