Unified search with AjaxUI

[mkeshyan]

Hello,
I'm running into an issue with CE 6.3.1 which seems to be permissions-related (not file, ACL) with AjaxUI and unified search.
I've set up user access by module in black-and-white admin/regular user mode by editing ACLController.php based on action and module requested (not via roles). The approach may not be pretty but it's working exactly as it should.

Unified search has been configured and works great. Here's the issue: when attempting to use unified search from an ajax-style URL, the search executes, the page is refreshed with search results, and then refreshed again immediately reverting back to the previous screen. This only happens for non-admins. Admins, following the same sequence of steps are fine, yielding the search results screen. Logs do not report any obvious errors, in fact look identical in admin and non-admin scenarios except the extra refresh obviously continuing to the consequent steps in the resulting refresh back to the prior page.

Upon disabling AJAX in configs-override.php, the issue is resolved. From the reading i've done, it seems i want to remain ajax-enabled. Could someone please point me in the right direction?
Would appreciate any feedback.

Can you reproduce on a stock instance of Sugar as well?

gunni - you're exactly right, thanks for pointing that out. Much relief. Chrome and Firefox both redirect, IE 8 (and must be 9 according to the post) work as expected. Counterintuitive, but true. Thanks again.
