TD14SP1: Publication Manager search fails but it works in Content Manager

There's something I clearly don't understanding about searching. In PubMan, if I search for a publication by GUID I get no results:

Trados Studio 'Open Publication' dialog box showing a search for a publication by GUID with no results displayed.

Same search in Content Manager returns the expected results:

Trados Studio 'Content Manager' screen displaying a successful search result for a publication by GUID with one hit found.

What am I doing wrong/misunderstanding about searching for publications in PubMan? (Search frequently fails for me through client apps, but I figure the answer to this question is probably the answer to whatever it is I'm doing wrong everywhere.) Thanks!

    We have complained about this lack of functionality in PubMan for a few years now. The ONE thing you really want to search for in PubMan is a publication by GUID, and you cannot. However, you can in the WebClient. So if a user gives me a publication GUID. I have to go to the WebClient. Use the Publications option on the Search tab to find it, and then select Go to Location. After I know where the publication is located, only then can I use PubMan to browse to it and open it.

    Note: We do not have TD14 yet, and this search functionality has either been missing or worked not as expected for several years.
