Pega Platform™ versions 8.6 through 8.7.1

After updating your Pega environment to Pega Platform version 8.6.x, you observe that the Search functionality no longer works while property-level security is enabled. The Pega log files show the error message.

Error message

Lucene Syntax search queries are not supported when property-level security is enabled.

Explanation

Pega Defect: The Pega-provided global Search rule, pySearchWrapper performs a Lucene Syntax search query. When property-level security is enabled in Pega Platform versions 8.6.x, searches will not work out-of-the-box because pySearchWrapper has been updated to leverage a Lucene Syntax search query.

Solution

Until the Pega defect is fixed, perform the following workaround:

Update Step 3 of pySearchWrapper to set the value of Param.pySearchString to Param.SearchString  instead of using the Pega-provided value.
