[Bug 1465423] [NEW] Elasticsearch confusion about indexing the firstname, lastname, email, preferredname values

 

Public bug reported:

On the elasticsearch configuration page under the artefact types section
the

email, firstname, lastname, preferredname checkbox fields are disabled -
this is so because that data is indexed as part of the usr table rather
than the artefact table.

However this is confusing for an admin because they may think the data
is not being indexed.

So I will make a patch where the boxes are disabled but ticked - but we
don't save their state as part of the artefact types selected - so that
an administrator can see that those bits of information are in fact
being indexed/searchable.

The is another disabled one 'Multirecipientnotification' which needs an
indexing option added.
