**Version:** 3.0.0 **Installation:** Docker with Nginx reverse proxy **Issue:** When users search for short text strings (e.g. “AI”), the application crashes and logs the user out. **Error log:** [2026-01-21 09:50:20][ERROR] — [search\_framework]: Exception: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ‘AI’, Type: \ (search\_routes.py) Traceback (most recent call last): File “cmdb/interface/rest\_api/routes/framework\_routes/search\_routes.py”, line 134, in search\_framework File “cmdb/manager/query\_builder/search\_pipeline\_builder.py”, line 146, in build ValueError: invalid literal for int() with base 10: ‘AI’ **Steps to reproduce:** 1. Log in to DataGerry 2. Go to Server and open VMWAre Server 3. Use the search field on the right hand and type “AI” 4. Press Enter **Expected:** Search returns results or “no results found” **Actual:** Site crashes and user is logged out or greying out **Note:** I see this is similar to DAT-1946. Is there a timeline for the fix? **Temp Solution** : Use filter first and filter by column ---

Hi @extloma , are you talking about the search field right of the “Filter”-Button ? ![image](https://europe1.discourse-cdn.com/flex013/uploads/datagerry/original/1X/48fe34d6c2fe14b7174faf5b6f0be82eb4a6c65c.png) ---
