Finder search results are broken aliases

When I use finder search in High Sierra to search files on remote volumes ( I have tried AFP, SMB and NFS), the search results seem to be broken aliases.

When I double click on one of the results I get a popup with the error "The alias “Filename.txt” can’t be opened because the original item can’t be found.".


When I select "Fix Alias" button and select the original file I get an error popup :The operation can’t be completed.

An unexpected error occurred (error code -8060).


This used to work fine on Sierra.
