Keywords search in the list

Hello all,

I have come across a strange problem with "keywords" searching on the list.

Scenario:
The table is customer_contact, child of the sys_user table.

As an admin, I am can search with "for text" feature and I will get results.
When I switch to non-admin, doing the same search will return no results. 

I thought it is the ACL problem, but this is not the case. When I search specifically in first_name or last_name, the results are shown. It is only the keywords/text search which does not return anything for non-admins.

I thought that the keywords search works with text_indexes, so how come admins have result and non-admin not?

 

Thank you for your suggestions

Once check in system properties for 'Text Search' and 'Global Text Search'.

Hi did you find a solution to this?

Original Query:
Did you ever find a solution for this? Years later, I’m encountering a very similar issue.

Issue Description:
Wildcard keyword search in the list view of a table is not working for non-admin users. For example:

  • Searching with *name returns results for admins.
  • The same *name search returns no results for non-admins.
  • However, non-admins do get results when using an exact match search like =name.

Has anyone else experienced this behavior or found a workaround?AdminWildcardSearch.PNGNonAdminsExactsearch.PNGNonAdminWildcardSearch.PNG
