Error occurs after changing the import search query after paginating

[bjester]

Observed behavior

After performing a search in the Import search modal which produces more than 1 page of results, navigating to subsequent page(s) and then revising the search term with something that would produce less resources, causes the search to fail.

Expected behavior

When the user updates the search term, it should reset the pagination back to page 1.

User-facing consequences

Revising search terms to be more specific after browsing through at least one page should be a well supported feature

Errors and logs

Without resetting the page index, it passes it along to the backend which returns a 404 because the results are unlikely enough to fill up to that page

Steps to reproduce the issue

1. Open the Import search modal
2. Search for a fairly basic term, e.g. 'dog'
3. Navigate to page 2
4. Revise the search term to 'dog drop'
5. Observe the error

Hey, I would like to work on this! I have read through the frontend documentation and currently going through the backend documentation. Any guidance will be appreciated.

Hi @Arunima22,

Thank you for your interest in contributing. I will assign you this issue.

Once you get your local development environment up and running, you'll have to prepare some data (channels) with which you can use to reproduce this search issue. For background, when you open a channel, there will be an ADD button which has a list of options, one of them being to upload files, and another to 'Import from channels' which will navigate you to the search interface.

First, to prepare some data:

1. Sign in as the [email protected] user
2. Add a new channel
3. Upload several items to it, at least 11, with a common word in the title or description. You'll want to use this common word in testing the search interface later. Documents like PDFs are best to upload because they're small and quick.
4. Ensure all uploaded content have the necessary fields, which includes the 'License' field-- 'Public domain' is easiest. The uploaded content should have no warnings or errors.
5. Navigate to the administration interface
   
6. Find the channel you created, and "Make it public"
   
7. Navigate back to your channel and click Publish

Steps to reproduce:

1. Add a new channel
2. Click ADD and choose 'Import from channels'
3. Search for the common word you added to the uploaded contents in the previous channel
4. Since you uploaded 11 items, you should get 2 pages of results. Navigate to page 2
5. Now update your search term to something more specific that wouldn't produce 2 pages of results
6. Observe the error

I believe the issue originates in this component https://github.com/learningequality/studio/blob/unstable/contentcuration/contentcuration/frontend/channelEdit/views/ImportFromChannels/SearchResultsList.vue

Let us know if you need any more assistance, or would like to be unassigned.

Hello @bjester I have encountered an issue where I am not able to upload any pdfs to the channel. Do I need some particular channel settings to upload pdfs?
I have made a screen recording of the issue. Let me know if you need to see it.

Hi @Arunima22, it's always good to attach as much information as you can - recording, logs, all you have :)
