Phantom O365 search bookmarks

Hi All, I've started looking into using Acronyms, Bookmarks, Q&A etc in MS Search, and have added some test items. When searching, I receive what appears to be bookmarks linking to SharePoin...

RobD365 Hi Rob

Are you suggesting that you have deleted the bookmarks and still you are seeing them on Bing?

Or is it on some other canvas - like Office.com, Sharepoint?

Also can you share screenshots if possible?

tanaybaldua Hi Tanay,

Screen host attached, you can see searching for "PowerShell" returns 2 bookmarks for sites that don't exist.

Cheers
Rob

  RobD365 Hi Rob
  
  You have already confirmed to me that you dont have any bookmarks in the Admin portal --> Microsoft Search --> Bookmarks list. Hope that is correct understanding at my end.
  
  Also can you confirm that there are no Best bets configured in SharePoint.com ?
  
  Coz I am wondering if there are any, those are being triggered in this case.
  
  Waiting for response
  
  Regards

    Hi Tanay, thanks for getting back to me.
    
    I don't generally tinker with search settings, so not 100% sure what Best bets are - google suggested they are managed via "Manage query rules".
    
    Looking in Manage query rules via admin.sharepoint.com, all items but one were last modified on the same day - when my tenancy was created. one was created about 2 months later, which has no mention of HR or content types, from what I can tell it's something to do with searching Bing 😕
    
    Thanks
    Rob
