Issue summary: From September 5, 2024 at 2:50 PM PDT to September 8, 2024 at 10 PM PDT, some customers using Enterprise Key Management (EKM) were unable to search for recently created messages. We traced this issue back to a recent code change which we discovered was creating indexing errors for EKM customers when they used the search function. We then reverted the problematic code change and ran a reindexing script to make the missing messages searchable again, which resolved the issue for all affected users.
