Global Search Results Opening in Polaris Instead of Service Operations Workspace (SOW)

Hi Team,

After our recent upgrade, we're facing an issue with Global Search for ITIL (non-admin) users.

Expected Behavior

When searching from Service Operations Workspace (SOW), users should be able to find and open:

  • Incidents (INC)
  • Requested Items (RITM)
  • Requests (REQ)
  • Catalog Tasks (SCTASK)
  • Knowledge Articles (KB)

All results should open within SOW as workspace tabs.

Current Behavior

Global Search returns the records successfully, but when users click on the search results:

  • Incidents (INC)
  • Requested Items (RITM)
  • Requests (REQ)
  • Catalog Tasks (SCTASK)
  • Knowledge Articles (KB)

they are opening in Polaris / Core UI instead of opening in Service Operations Workspace (SOW).

Troubleshooting Performed

  • Verified Search Source configurations.
  • Compared DEV (working) and TEST (failing) environments.
  • Verified SOW is installed and accessible.
  • Confirmed that direct SOW URLs such as /now/sow/record/ open correctly in SOW.

In our case it seems that Patch5 W36 solved the issue.
