  Cause:
  
  Missing Mapping: The object type code (e.g., a specific master data type) is not configured in the Enterprise Search settings, meaning there is no template defined for it.
  Configuration Issues: The Enterprise Search configuration may not have been completed correctly, or the necessary templates may not have been activated.
  Data Model Changes: If there have been recent changes to the data model or object types, the corresponding search templates may not have been updated or created.
