Issue

Why does the Search Results Portlet display a different "view in context" URL for document file entries after upgrading to dxp-15?

Environment

DXP 7.2 with dxp-15+

Resolution

Up until dxp-14, the URL format was as follows:
```
http://localhost:8080/c/document_library/find_file_entry?...
```
There was a bug identified where in some cases the above URL failed.

This was addressed in LPS-91413 and released in dxp-15, in which the URL format was changed to:
```
http://localhost:8080/web/guest/search?...
```
The fix is backwards compatible by adding a Document and Media Portlet to a public page. The portlet provides the necessary context to ‘show the document in its context’ so the old URL is redirected to the new URL.
