SearchParameters created with REST API don't work

Describe the bug The server returns the error message Search parameter 'favorite-color' for resource type 'Patient' was not found. after creating the search parameter from the example.

Environment 4.11.1

To Reproduce Steps to reproduce the behavior:

1. Create the SearchParameter:

POST https://your_fhir_server/api/v4/SearchParameter

{
  "resourceType": "SearchParameter",
  "id": "Patient-favorite-color",
  "url": "http://example.com/fhir/SearchParameter/Patient-favorite-color",
  "version": "4.0.0",
  "name": "favorite-color",
  "status": "draft",
  "experimental": false,
  "date": "2018-12-27T22:37:54+11:00",
  "publisher": "LinuxForHealth FHIR Server Test",
  "contact": [{
    "telecom": [{
      "system": "url",
      "value": "http://linuxforhealth.org"
    }]
  },
  {
    "telecom": [{
      "system": "url",
      "value": "http://linuxforhealth.org"
    }]
  }],
  "description": "the patient's favorite color",
  "code": "favorite-color",
  "base": ["Patient"],
  "type": "string",
  "xpathUsage": "normal",
  "xpath": "f:Patient/f:extension[@url='http://example.com/fhir/extension/Patient/favorite-color']/f:valueString",
  "expression": "Patient.extension.where(url='http://example.com/fhir/extension/Patient/favorite-color').value",
  "multipleOr": true,
  "multipleAnd": true,
  "modifier": []
}

1. Search with it:

GET https://your_fhir_server/api/v4/Patient?favorite-color:exact=pink

I forgot to wrap the SearchParameter into Bundle inside extension-search-parameters.json. Now it works with extension-search-parameters.json configuration provided.

Glad you got it working with extension-search-parameters.json.

SearchParameter resources from the database should be loaded on server start if you set fhirServer/core/serverRegistryResourceProviderEnabled=true. However, previously ingested resources will need to be reindexed for this new search parameter to take effect. I believe that part is working, but if you find otherwise please open an issue.
