Step 2: Manually Update the Coveo Search Provider Configuration File

Merging Your Modifications into the Configuration Files

Since upgrading Coveo for Sitecore modifies the Coveo Search Provider configuration files (Coveo.SearchProvider.config.example and Coveo.SearchProvider.Custom.config.example) with the latest fixes and enhancements, you need to manually merge these modifications into your current configuration files (Coveo.SearchProvider.config and Coveo.SearchProvider.Custom.config). This method allows you to keep your own customization intact, while still benefiting from the latest enhancements brought in the product. You can use a merge tool such as WinMerge to do that.

Coveo.SearchProvider.config

In the events node, remove the following event:

<event name="user:created">
  <handler type="Coveo.SearchProvider.Events.ExpandedPermissionsEventHandler, Coveo.SearchProviderBase" method="OnUserCreated" />
  <handler type="Coveo.SearchProvider.Events.EntityEventHandler, Coveo.SearchProviderBase" method="OnUserCreated"/>
</event>
