🐛 Bug Report: Search broken in v1.27.0 ?

[c4rth]

📜 Description

In my installation of Backstage v1.26.4 with PostgreSQL database, the search worked fine.
After update to v1.27.0 with yarn backstage-cli versions:bump, the search doesn't seem to work anymore.
As I have a catalogCollatorExtensionPoint, I remove it and try again, same issue.
I tried searching on techdocs content, user and group.

👍 Expected behavior

Search should return some results.

👎 Actual Behavior with Screenshots

Search from Techdocs page:

Search from sidebar:

👟 Reproduction steps

• update Backstage to v1.27.0
• start it
• go to search

There's a chance that this is fixed by #24767, as it's in search that we discovered the issue

[brianphillips]

I'm not sure if this is the same issue but the search backend endpoint is returning a 400 after the 1.27.0 upgrade (discord thread)

{
  "error": {
    "name": "InputError",
    "message": "Invalid query string: [\n  {\n    \"code\": \"custom\",\n    \"message\": \"Invalid input\",\n    \"path\": [\n      \"types\",\n      0\n    ]\n  }\n]"
  },
  "request": {
    "method": "GET",
    "url": "/query?term=backstage&types%5B0%5D=software-catalog"
  },
  "response": {
    "statusCode": 400
  }
}

Here's how the problem manifests on the frontend:

[Rugvip]

Yep, that doesn't look like the same issue. 1.27.1 is out now with the above fix too

[Rugvip]

Closing this as a duplicate of #24794 since a fix is being worked on there
