Error in 'SearchParser': Missing a search command before ' '.
Hi,
I am trying to access one of my saved Searches, but this error is shown all of a sudden.
My syntax is correct as the same code was working sometime back.
Is this a product bug?
Please help.
Thanks!!

I discovered today that after modifying a saved search to format it for better readability, this error showed up. The problem was that in formatting it, I added some CRLF characters. Afterwards, the error showed up. For some reason, CRLF are NOT ignored, but affect the search string. Hopefully this can help your situation. (I HATE unformatted search strings, too difficult to read when all jumbled up!)

We need to see the actual search text. Go to the Manager and edit the saved search. Copy the search into a comment.
