Office 365 groups and SharePoint search
- I believe that's the problem...currently Delve cannot surface documents that are living on Private Groups (I also think Microsoft is working currently on surfacing documents that are in private Groups) and since Delve is powered by the Office Graph what means search behind the scenes that's the reason IMHO why you are not able to search for documents that belong to a private Group...just my two cents
It is a private group indeed, but I've got access to the private group.

Anyone seen any updates on this? We're still not seeing private group files in SharePoint search results.
We are seeing documents from private groups within our Sharepoint search results (classic and modern). As noted from the other thread, Delve is also searching private groups now.
What I can't figure out is how to get Sharepoint (classic view) to search for private groups. In my search query, I have WebTemplate:Group, but this only finds public groups...
The modern Sharepoint search can find private groups, but I can't figure out how to pass my search box query to the modern view.

Any variable I try sending to the above page get translated as a regular string. I've tried {SearchBoxQuery}, {SearchTerms}, {k}, {QueryString.k}. The only variable that seems to get translated correctly is {urlcontext}, but that one doesn't help me.
Hi I'm trying to do something similar is there documentation out there to refine search queries for office 365 group modern SharePoint sites?
