Troubleshooting
Problem
When searching for reports in Cognos Analytics, the Search tool will show duplicate, hidden or old objects names.
Symptom
Sometimes a folder is displayed twice (with exact same path) or hidden reports are shown in the result list (twice) even if the user does not have "Show hidden entries" enabled.
If a folder is renamed, both folder current name and old folder name can still be found in search results.
