    Problem Symptoms:
    * GKEY search in WebVoyage returns many results.
    * Search for same search using same index with SearchService API (http://<IP>:7014/vxws/SearchService?searchArg=test&searchCode=GKEY%5E*&searchArgType=AND) returns error:
    <?xml version="1.0" encoding="UTF-8"?>
    <ser:voyagerServiceData xmlns:ser="http://www.endinfosys.com/Voyager/serviceParameters">
    <ser:messages>
    <ser:message type="system" errorCode="com.endinfosys.voyager.search.Search.SearchException">Could not retrieve search results.</ser:message>
    </ser:messages>
    </ser:voyagerServiceData>

    Cause:
    SearchService call using search code modifiers specific to WebVoyage: GKEY^* is not supported for SearchService. Relevance and AND are indicated with other URL parameters.

    Resolution:
    1. Remove the modifiers from the call: GKEY^* (or GKEY%5E*).
    2. Replace the WebVoyage-specific modifiers with the appropriate modifiers for SearchService API:
    http://<IP>:7014/vxws/SearchService?searchArg=test&searchCode=GKEY&searchArgType=AND&displayRelevanceFlag=Y

    Additional Information

    See EL Commons > Voyager > Open Interfaces > XML over HTTP > SearchService for supported parameters.

    Please note that Voyager Support has a very limited ability to assist with the Voyager APIs.  We can help identify the APIs that might be useful to you, and provide basic troubleshooting aid.  Voyager-L and Developer Network  are useful resources for obtaining additional assistance.
