Hi Team,

I think MS has done some changes in the Search API due to that the search box WebPart has stopped working. They are pushing the changes tenant wise hence it is impacting the tenant which has deployed the latest patch.

  • [x ] Bug
  • Enhancement

Expected or Desired Behavior

Keyword search should be working.

Observed Behavior

When we trying to search anything from the keyword search, the results are not refined based on the keyword. We have checked the request payload and found that the keyword provided in the searchbox is converted to "". Hence the final Querytext":"".

Below is the payload

{"request":{"__metadata":{"type":"Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.REST.SearchRequest"},"ClientType":"ContentSearchRegular","Properties":{"results":[{"Name":"EnableDynamicGroups","Value":{"BoolVal":true,"QueryPropertyValueTypeIndex":3}},{"Name":"EnableMultiGeoSearch","Value":{"BoolVal":true,"QueryPropertyValueTypeIndex":3}}]},**"Querytext":"*",**"EnableQueryRules":false,"QueryTemplate":"{searchTerms}","RowLimit":10,"SelectProperties":{"results":["Title","Path","Created","Filename","SiteLogo","PreviewUrl","PictureThumbnailURL","ServerRedirectedPreviewURL","ServerRedirectedURL","HitHighlightedSummary","FileType","contentclass","ServerRedirectedEmbedURL","DefaultEncodingURL","owstaxidmetadataalltagsinfo","Author","AuthorOWSUSER","SPSiteUrl","SiteTitle","IsContainer","IsListItem","HtmlFileType","UniqueID"]},"TrimDuplicates":false,"SortList":{"results":[{"Property":"Created","Direction":0},{"Property":"Size","Direction":1}]},"Refiners":"","HitHighlightedProperties":{"results":[]},"RefinementFilters":{"results":[]},"ReorderingRules":{"results":[]}}}

Steps to Reproduce

  1. Add Search box webpart and search webpart
  2. try to search anything by typing any keyword in search box, the results are not refined.

If this is related to modern search web parts, the correct repo is https://github.com/microsoft-search/pnp-modern-search and it's dynamic data related. See microsoft-search/pnp-modern-search#325
