Home Sites and Microsoft Search
- Ok. So ignore this. Apparently no matter what you do, once you set a site as a HomeSite it locks in the Search scope and cannot be changed via this override method. So you can change hub searches, but HomeSite designation cannot be changed from what I can tell.
ChrisWebbTech not sure if something has changed since you posted way back when but I have just managed to change the search scope on our home site from 'Tenant' to 'Hub' using the instructions on this page https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoftsearch/manage-spo-search-box
andrewmarr These are my findings:
- I can successfully run the PowerShell commands to set the search scope to "site" on the homesite.
- In the searchbox on the homesite, the hint text does say "Search this site".
- However, results are still surfaced from across the entire tenant, even though the breadcrumb would lead you to believe it only searches the current site.
I'm curious as to what other people's experiences are. For me specifically, I have a customer who would like the search scope of their homesite to be just that single site; they don't have any hubsites, just a single site. It seems that, for me at least, even though the search scope seems to be set to the current site only, the results are surfaced from across the tenant regardless.
ChrisWebbTechThank you for investigating this, it is a huge relief to understand the implications on search!
