-
list backupofferings keyword=test -> returns empty
-
list backupofferings keyword=test1 -> returns empty
Expected Behavior
The keyword parameter should filter backup offerings by name, returning offerings that match the search term.
Actual Behavior
The keyword parameter returns empty results regardless of the search term, even when matching offerings exist.
Environment
- CloudStack version: 4.20+
Additional Information
- Other filter parameters (
id,zoneid,pagesize,page) work correctly - The
keywordparameter is defined in the API and accepted without error - This appears to be a bug in the search criteria implementation in
BackupManagerImpl.java
What to do about it?

Interesting catch on this filtering bug. Looking at the issue, it seems the keyword parameter is accepted by the API but not actually used in the search criteria implementation.
A few thoughts for investigation:
keywordis provided and apply it to the name/description filteringlistServiceOfferingsorlistComputeOfferingsimplement their keyword filtering for referenceWorth checking if this is just a missing null/empty check on the keyword parameter or if the filtering logic itself wasn't connected. The fact that other parameters work correctly suggests it's isolated to the keyword implementation.

Hi, I’d like to work on this issue if it’s still open.
Please let me know if I can proceed.
DaanHoogland commentedon Jan 27, 2026
@chezsan770 there is a PR ready for this, it just needs backpporting to the 4.20 branch (if the author, @JeevanYewale is willing)
