Customer facing search issue when using operators

Kathryn_nv7f7s

when searching in the public side of our confluence page, the following searches work:

Iphone and android

"Iphone" AND "andoid"

but, if you search Iphone AND android, you receive the following error:

java.lang.IllegalArgumentException: INVALID_SYNTAX_CANNOT_PARSE: Syntax Error, cannot parse AND:

on this error page, in the confluence search, you can look for Intelligence AND android and you will be given results with no error. Has anyone else seen this sort of an issue?

Hi @Kathryn ,

I don't know what version of Confluence you are using, but there were similar bugs submitted previously to Atlassian : https://jira.atlassian.com/browse/CONFSERVER-39548

I would suggest reaching out to support to check if this is an issue from Atlassian, so that they can track this bug : http://getsupport.atlassian.com

You might also want to check on the application server logs if there are any errors when you're recreating this issue.

Let me know if this helps,

--Alexis

Hi @Kathryn welcome to the community!

Since AND is a keyword in CQL, I earlier thought it might be causing the error, but that's not the case it seems. I got below results when I searched -

Iphone and android -> Found pages containing the string.

"Iphone" AND "andoid" -> No results and no errors.

Iphone AND android -> Found pages containing the string.

So it could be a bug as Alexis mentioned and worth raising a ticket with Atlassian Support.
