In the German section of the forum I found a thread with the same problem. @regenpfeifer tracked down the issue to a problem inside the search function. I solved the problem by updating the htaccess rules. See the link below to find the thread and the quoted solution:

Habe folgenden Rat befolgt und das Problem war gelöst: Htaccess Pfad ändern, dazu folgende Linie in config.php hinzufügen 'htaccess.RewriteBase' =\> '/' (Path depends on your configuration - maybe /nextcloud) Update htaccess with the occ command sudo -u apache php occ maintenance:update:htaccess On my webhosting I ran the command like this over SSH: php occ maintenance:update:htaccess Source: [https://help.nextcloud.com/t/removing-i…](https://help.nextcloud.com/t/removing-index-php-from-the-nextcloud-uri/13055/2)
