When HCL Notes Client Search is not working anymore

After upgrading from V9 to V11, we discovered that the Client Search is not working fine. You cannot change the filters or even change settings for it. It results in a “MissMatch Error”.


The only Search, by default, was in your current mailfile. You could not set it to “All Mail and Archives” anymore. We tested it with a HCL Notes V12 client, and also this client has the same problem.

After 2 weeks of intensive support with HCL we found the solution for it, outside of HCL Notes V11 ofcourse. It was not a bug, but an external cause.

AppLocker | Lock Apps - Fingerprint, PIN, Pattern - Apps op Google Play

Windows 10 comes with a feature called AppLocker, and this is enabled in this environment. AppLocker helps you control which apps and files users can run. These include executable files, scripts, Windows Installer files, dynamic-link libraries (DLLs), packaged apps, and packaged app installers.

And for some dark reason, one DLL from Notes was blocked by the AppLocker: DTSearch.dll

The moment we put this dll in the whitelist, search was working like before.
