Description

Plugins can be added to the global search by means of

Redmine::Search.available_search_types << 'your_model'

But only if the model you're trying to search belongs_to :project. Without this association, though the plugin is added to the search providers, it will always error out with the following:

ActiveRecord::ConfigurationError in SearchController#index

Association named 'project' was not found; perhaps you misspelled it?

and if you actually add the required association, you'll never get any results (unless the user is associated with some project on the system).

Since Redmine is project-centric, I understand why the association is necessary, but wonder if there's a way to accommodate plugins that don't require a project ...
