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!

  • Thanks to the sharp eyes of Frank G in support, we have the answer: Make an output format.

    Searching publications by GUID may not actually search the publications by GUID. It does, however, appear to search the output formats associated with that GUID.

    Steps to reproduce:

    1. Create a publication without any output formats
    2. Search for that publication's title; expected result is success
    3. Search for that publication's GUID; expected result is failure
    4. Create an output format for the publication and save
    5. Search for that publication's GUID; expected result is success
    6. Delete all output formats for the publication
    7. Search for that publication's GUID; expected result is failure
