Symptoms

An Imaging search is defined on a text field with the "Equals" operator, as seen in the screen shot below. 

However, when using the Java SDK to call the search and using the Search.Operator.EQUAL, an error occurs stating "Invalid operator used in search parameter".

The code that calls the search is as follows:

SearchValue searchValue = new SearchValue(SearchValue.Type.TEXT, "My Search String");
SearchArgument searchArgument = new SearchArgument("TextField", searchValue);
searchArgument.setOperatorValue(Search.Operator.EQUAL);
