ediscovery search for Denmark Personal Identification Number
I think Vasil Michev is right, it is not supported against Exchange, when searhing.
I will dig into this further.
It is not supported:
while you can’t currently use Content Search to find personal data at rest in Exchange Online mailboxes, you can use the sensitive information types you curate for GDPR to find and protect personal information as it is sent through email.

Well I did scan the documentation on Content search, it doesn't explicitly mention that the SensitiveType keyword is not supported. I'll just open an issue for the documentation team to update the docs...
I should have read my own material. This topic is covered in Chapter 20 of Office 365 for IT Pros...
Pretty clear:
Finding personal data subject to GDPR relies on using sensitive information types in Office 365. These define how the automated process recognizes specific information types such as health service numbers and credit card numbers. At this time these cannot be used to find data in Exchange mailboxes at rest. However, sensitive information types can be used with data loss prevention policies to find personal data in mail while in transit.
Always good to read the documentation! Thanks for finding it.
