Bugfix SUP-8998 Link to this entry

The endpoints for advanced search (using elasticsearch) did not support paging properly. Due to permission constraints, the number of returned hits was possibly smaller than the given pagesize, even if more valid hits would have been available. Also the returned total hit size was possibly higher than the valid total hit size. The implementation has been changed to properly consider permissions now, so that the number of returned hits and the total hit size are correct now.
This change requires indexing of permission properties, which will be done at the first start of the CMS after the update.
