Hi @Rani Supriya !
For troubleshooting, I’m wondering if this is a newly uploaded document? If so, if you try again now, does it load? 

Best,

@Sofie Svartdal Berge any idea on what is causing this issue?

Hi,

Sorry for the late follow-up. Data Explorer requires the following for text search (via CTRL/CMD+F) to work:

  1. The document has to be run through the Diagram parsing pipeline.
  2. In order to do the above, the file type has to be one of: PDF, JPEG, PNG or TIFF.

This likely explains why you’re not able to do text search in Data Explorer. As Data Explorer is in the process of being replaced by Search, this limitation will likely only be handled in the latter.

If this issue is a blocker, one temporary option could be to convert the documents to PDF, ingest those into CDF, and run them through the Diagram Parsing pipelines.

 

Hope this helps,

Marvin
