Search Not Working in Group Sharepoint site

Hi All,

I've got an Office 365 group site with a team of users contributing documents to the default document library. However when we search for a document no results are returned? I've checked the site search settings to ensure results are being returned as well as the document library search settings. They look right. I've triggered a reindex to see if that helps. It is a private group if that makes a difference? Any advice gratefully received!

    UPDATE: after re-indexing 1 document started showing up in search results out of 60...so I went searching (pun intended) for the difference between that document and the rest...turned out that document was the only one with a published version (1.15) whereas all the others had only draft versions (0.45, 0.1 etc). So it seems we need to get at least 1 published version before they get indexed?

  • Hi Suzanne,

     

    from where are you starting your search? from within the group or from a search center?

      Hi Paul, the search is started within the group site :-)

      Thanks!

        Yeah I saw that on uservoice, but it appeared to marked as implemented? Hopefully Christophe can clarify :-) Thanks Juan!
