Issue

  • I have an issue with the documents and media portlet document search. I have two document folders and two document and media portlets on a page. One folder is set at a document folder, the other is set at another folder. When I search for a certain document set in a certain folder, the search result displays correctly. However, when performing the search on the other folder where the document is not, the search results still display the document.

Reproduction Steps:

  1. logged in with the admin user in the portal using DXP 7.4 update 92

  2. Access to Control Panel → Document & Media and create folder:'folderA' and upload an image:'imageA.png'

  3. Add the DL portlet to a page

  4. Configure widget:

    1. Root folder by default in configuration → Select folder ‘Provided by Liferay’

    2. Check in Show Action.

    3. Save the widget configuration.

  5. Search for example 'png' in search,

Expected Result: The images of the folder selected 'Provided by Liferay' should be displayed, not images from other folders as folderA

 Actual Result: Only image A is displayed as a search result, with the following error in the log:
