Mark, @Wicus van den Berg and I never did get any feedback from https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcommunity.microsoft.com%2Ft5%2Fuser%2Fviewprofilepage%2Fuser-id%2F55564&data=01%7C01%7CSimon.Hudson%40cloud2.co.uk%7C24861bb0b3584485eb4f08d62ae3d80b%7Cd99524016be4413d9f7a3b863e27ef1f%7C1&sdata=QbQ7d6ZLdjCg%2FOpl3bJAgqqBsC7VDwL%2F%2FQm788iqTq4%3D&reserved=0, https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcommunity.microsoft.com%2Ft5%2Fuser%2Fviewprofilepage%2Fuser-id%2F5852&data=01%7C01%7CSimon.Hudson%40cloud2.co.uk%7C24861bb0b3584485eb4f08d62ae3d80b%7Cd99524016be4413d9f7a3b863e27ef1f%7C1&sdata=JUuyzTwFQFtyLstgMvKO%2FNNq6I8noxLW5RquWoc83sk%3D&reserved=0, https://emea01.safelinks.protection.outlook.com/?url=https%3A%2F%2Ftechcommunity.microsoft.com%2Ft5%2Fuser%2Fviewprofilepage%2Fuser-id%2F33963&data=01%7C01%7CSimon.Hudson%40cloud2.co.uk%7C24861bb0b3584485eb4f08d62ae3d80b%7Cd99524016be4413d9f7a3b863e27ef1f%7C1&sdata=cTZJLhq%2F4yCi9GV1KfdOntQgEMxz98i5r0nDi6cPJGw%3D&reserved=0 about the roadmap for Modern Search and it's current inadequacies. We continue to recommend and roll out Classic Search as being enterprise grade (including to small organisations) and advise them to avoid Modern Search other than for use within a Hub or individual site where the context and scope is known and limited.
It would be good to have some insights so that we can take a decision on developing our own approach to Modern Search. Happy for that to be a private, under NDA discussion if required, though I believe it should be part of the wider public disclosure on Search.
There are some great things going on with Microsoft Search ( I was recently published in a national technology periodiocal on that) and with O365-wide search; so that paucity of capability of the SharePoint search is especially painful.
