Resolution
  1. Go to Administration > Application Builder > Questionnaires (ensure that you have administrative access).
  2. Search and open the questionnaire in concern.
  3. Based on the log entry, look for the field in concern (Note: It is expected to be a cross-reference field).
  4. Open the cross-reference field and go to the Options Tab > Options area.
  5. Disable the option "Search default field" and then click Save.
Once applied, try to perform a search again to verify if this addressed the issue.
