Version 16.0Hi,
I have a question about SharePoint Agent indexing.
When SharePoint Agent indexes documents stored in a SharePoint library, does it also analyze and rank on file-level metadata—such as tags, categories, author, content type, creation date, business unit, or other custom columns—in addition to the document’s main content? If so, how is that metadata used during indexing and query processing, and what best practices can we follow to enrich or tune those fields to boost search relevance and performance?
Thanks,
Sonnt
