It seems like the ability to add search results (files/pages/videos) to boards have been lost in the latest Delve update as results are no longer displayed as cards. Is this intentional? Without the ability to add search results, Boards start becoming obsolete in my opinion.

Hi everyone, Thanks for your comments. You are correct that we are listening to your feedback and that this is one of the reasons why we have decided to take an extra round of implementation before we roll out the latest Delve search bits. We will make sure Add to board and Favorite is supported before we turn the new search experience on for you again. It is also correct that you see a similar experience in SharePoint. We are basically trying to converge search experiences to one familiar "form-factor", which you will see more frequent updates to going forward. Thanks again for your feedback!

Fabulous, thank you for letting us know Bernt Ivar Olsen!

Elsa is right. Delve now generates search results in a list rather than cards. You do not have the option to select an item from the list and add it to a board, as you can with the documents shown elsewhere (as in "Recent Documents" in the "Me" view).

The Delve home page is the same as before. What has changed is the option to add an item found in a search to a board... You could never add an email to a board before, so that's not the issue.

The search view has just changed to cards again in my tenant. I assume that Microsoft listened and is now figuring out how to combine the best of the two ways of presenting found information. The "old" view supports boards, so that's good. The new presented boards and people that matched the search, both of which are interesting ways to locate information. I think an amalagation of the two will do the trick.

Could you please add a screenshot of what you are not able to do in Delve? AFAIK, Microsoft is not removing these features, while it's true changes around intelligent search are happening behind the scenes

    Not sure at all about the search results in a list concept...what I'm seeing now in the Delve home page is similar to what I had in the past and you are right in the sense I can only add documents to boards (For instance I cannot add e-mails to boards and I'm not sure even if it has ever been possible to add e-mails received to boards).
