    Description

      Issue Summary

      When typing a query using the Livesearch Macro with Space = @self and the space is set to Archived, the automatic search works as expected, finding terms when they match.

      But if a user clicks on the magnifying glass to "execute" the search, or selects "See more results for 'search term'" from the live results, it links to the Advanced Search page but without the "Search archived spaces" box, so we get "No results found".

      This condition happens because the Search archived spaces come unchecked by default, so to get the results as expected, the user must check in the option Search archived spaces below the search box. 

      This could be improved by changing the functionality of "search archived spaces" to only search in archived space and making a functionality available to set this option by default to the currently archived space after selecting the checkbox.

      Steps to Reproduce

      1. Create a space and a page.
      2. Insert the Livesearch macro inside the page, set up the "Restrict to this space key" with @self and save it. 
         
      3. Typing a query, the automatic search works as expected, finding terms when they match.
      4. Clicks on the magnifying glass to "execute" the search, or press enter to "See more results for 'search term'" from the live results, it links to the Advanced Search page but without the "Search archived spaces" box, so we get "No results found".
         
      5. Unless we check in the option Search archived spaces below the search box.

      Expected Results

      Selecting the checkbox below the search box do the job, but it would be good to have a way to set this up as default to the currently archived space.
