### What?
Prevents "not found" error when trashing search-enabled documents in
localized site.
### Why?
**See issue https://github.com/payloadcms/payload/issues/13835 for
details and reproduction of bug.**
When a document is soft-deleted (has `deletedAt` timestamp), the search
plugin's `afterChange` hook tries to sync the document but fails because
`payload.findByID()` excludes trashed documents by default.
**Original buggy code** in
`packages/plugin-search/src/utilities/syncDocAsSearchIndex.ts` at lines
46-51:
```typescript
docToSyncWith = await payload.findByID({
id,
collection,
locale: syncLocale,
req,
// MISSING: trash parameter!
})
```
### How?
Added detection for trashed documents and include `trash: true`
parameter:
```typescript
// Check if document is trashed (has deletedAt field)
const isTrashDocument = doc && 'deletedAt' in doc && doc.deletedAt
docToSyncWith = await payload.findByID({
id,
collection,
locale: syncLocale,
req,
// Include trashed documents when the document being synced is trashed
trash: isTrashDocument,
})
```
### Test Coverage Added
- **Enabled trash functionality** in Posts collection for plugin-search
tests
- **Added comprehensive e2e test case** in
`test/plugin-search/int.spec.ts` that verifies:
1. Creates a published post and verifies search document creation
2. Soft deletes the post (moves to trash)
3. Verifies search document is properly synced after trash operation
4. Cleans up by permanently deleting the trashed document
