Delve boards no longer available for search results
Hi jcgonzalezmartin and TonyRedmond, looks like the card view is back! Wonder if they'll keep it. Thanks for your input anyway :)
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.

Hi, sorry - I missed this update. We are in the process of rolling this out again. The new UX is with Compass users currently and is expected in First Release within a couple of weeks. When I say "converge" I mean that the experiences will have similar UX and similar results. In Delve the focus will be on people; in SP Home it will be on sites, as today. Both Delve and SP Home will likely benefit from personal results for documents and other entities.
Hi Bernt Ivar Olsen, Thanks for the update. Is there an ETA on this? Also, when you say "converge search experiences" - would Delve Search & SharePoint Search have similar behaviour, excepting Delve would show personal search results first?
Great. Better done right than done badly...
Fabulous, thank you for letting us know Bernt Ivar Olsen!

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!
It's also reasonable to say that Microsoft uses a similar search experience for the SharePoint Online home page. I imagine that one of the reasons why they missed boards out is that they simply forgot that Delve has boards (and people) whereas SPO simply concentrates on documents.
