7.15.0 release notes

edit

Upgrading to Enterprise Search 7.15.0? See Upgrading & migrating.

Enterprise Search

edit

New features

edit
  • Adds the configuration setting kibana.host to specify the internal Kibana host that Enterprise Search communicates with. kibana.external_url, an existing setting, now defaults to the value of kibana.host, but you can change this external URL for your deployments. Enterprise Search uses the external URL to render links to Kibana.

Bug fixes

edit
  • Clears reset password token after updating password so the same token cannot be used again. Prior to this fix, the token would eventually expire after 2 hours.

App Search

Breaking changes

edit
  • Improvements to curations resulted in the following changes to the current behavior:

    • Positioned result scores will always be greater than organic results (previously they were always 1).
    • Positioned results are returned in sorted queries (sorted with the rest of the results).
    • Positioned results are returned in grouped queries.
  • The web crawler’s default user agent has been changed to "Elastic-Crawler" and will now include the full product version.
  • Fixes a known issue of Confluence Cloud’s, where attachment downloading via API was broken for OAuth apps. To download attachments from Confluence Cloud, a new OAuth API Permission (scope) must be added to you Confluence Cloud OAuth Application: Download attachment contents.

Enterprise Search versions 7.15.0 and later are required to download attachments from Confluence Cloud. This is due to API changes introduced by Atlassian, the developer of Confluence Cloud.

  • Updates the Confluence Cloud connector to work with rotating refresh tokens, which are mandatory with Atlassian cloud OAuth 2.0 apps after 2021-11-01.

After 2021-11-01, Enterprise Search versions 7.15.0 and later are required to connect to Confluence Cloud. This is due to backwards incompatible API changes introduced by Atlassian, the developer of Confluence Cloud.

Bug fixes

edit
  • Fix issue where the crawler domain validation would fail URL content check in case of redirect.
  • Fix crawling pages with a relative base URL.

Known issues

edit
  • App Search users with dev and editor roles do not have access to the web crawler. This will be addressed in an upcoming release.
  • Deleting an engine that has an active web crawl running can result in blocking future crawls from starting. This will be addressed in an upcoming release.

Workplace Search

New features

edit

  • Allows enabling and disabling of synchronization and synchronization features per content source (requires Platinum subscription).
  • Adds a job management API operation that allows scheduling and interrupting content source synchronization jobs (requires Platinum subscription).
