GET_SEARCH_RESULTS webservice response says ivalid QueryText

Question

Used below xml request to get the details of a document in the UCM:

<soapenv:Envelope xmlns:soapenv="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/" xmlns:ucm="http://www.oracle.com/UCM">
   <soapenv:Header/>
   <soapenv:Body>
      <ucm:GenericRequest webKey="cs"> <!-- Fixed value -->
         <ucm:Service IdcService="GET_SEARCH_RESULTS"><!--  -->

            <ucm:Document>
                <ucm:Field name="SearchEngineName">database</ucm:Field>

               <ucm:Field name="QueryText">dDocTitle &lt;contains&gt; 'Test' </ucm:Field>

            </ucm:Document>
         </ucm:Service>
      </ucm:GenericRequest>
   </soapenv:Body>
</soapenv:Envelope>

The response is:

    <env:Envelope xmlns:env="http://schemas.xmlsoap.org/soap/envelope/">

                   <ns2:Field name="escapeReservedStringsInSearch">false</ns2:Field>

It seems that the xml escape has not worked for < symbol. Is there any reason this is not working? or am I missing something? When the QueryText is just "dDocTitle" the code works and response contains the details of al docs in ucm but however, the filter condition is not working.

Answer 1

The < and > might be the issue, but there is another problem - the quotes are not correct. Replace ' (apostrophe) with ` (back tick) in the query.
