Knowledge Objects for Orphaned searches

I have a couple orphaned searches owned by a user who is no longer with the company ( his user id was deleted ) . Im trying to re enable those searches but im unable to find them under Reassign Knowledge Objects . Im logging as an admin so this should not be an access/permission issue . Any Idea ?

Thanks

@newsplunker1 If the object is both orphaned and Private it cannot be reassigned as you will not be able to see it under Reassign Knowledge Objects, you will have to reassign from the conf files.
