Very strange...does it happen with all word documents? I can confirm that in my tenants Delve is surfacing Word documents and also that I can find word documents in the search center without applying any filters

Thanks for the prompt reply. I have been trying to narrow down the documents that are affected and I can't. A number of word documents appear in the search, but others don't. It doesn't appear to be related to which SharePoint site, or whether there are special characters in the filename. It's a mystery...
Has anyone noticed anything similiar? Documents not appearing in search when you know they're there?

I have a similar problem. At the moment I am working with two word documents that are not showing. They are not showing in DELVE ) your recent documents. They don't show in any delve search either.
If i start word, they are under recent documents.
