Basic Search giving the "Invalid Expression" error

I configured the Atlas version 2.2.0 on AWS EMR, and did a basic search without prior importing the data in atlas, but it gives me the invalid expression error (in popup). What could be the possible reasons for that?

Hello @pandeyroshan 

You haven't imported any metadata yet — so Atlas has no entity types or instances to search. The Basic Search UI tries to run a default query with an empty or invalid typeName, which leads to the “Invalid expression” popup.
