Hi Kerem Yuceturk, 

 

It's now almost at the end of February 2020. Do you have a new update on the status?

 

Thanks!

Kind Regards,

Frank

Frank-Ove Kristiansen, and everyone. Thank you again for your interest in this. 

 

We are slightly delayed in our schedule, and expect the roll out to resume closer to the end of March. We want to make sure that the changes we make result in much faster load times for the search box and a good experience for our users. We appreciate your patience.

 

If your company is interested in receiving the experience that exists in Targeted Release today for all your users, please send me a private message.

    Hi Kerem Yuceturk,

     

    Since we are now a week into April, is there a new estimate for when this roll out will resume?

     

    Kind regards

    Emma

      Hi Emma_Degerman, and everyone,

      We are putting the finishing touches on this to ensure a smooth roll out for all customers. I know this has been delayed greatly, but we want to make sure the roll out goes smoothly, especially in this slightly more stressful environment. 

       

      In the meanwhile, we have rolled some of our experience updates that help with loading the suite navigation bar and the search box faster to Targeted Release and our customers who have reached out to receive the changes earlier. If your company is interested in receiving the experience that exists in Targeted Release today for all your users, please send me a private message with your SharePoint URL and I'd be happy to enable it.

        Hi everyone,

         

        We've just rolled out the search box move to the header to 50% of our non-government, non-sovereign cloud customers (this is up from 10% + Targeted Release). 

         

        We hope to complete the roll out by going to 100% in the next week or the week after. I will post again here when we have completed the roll out.

         

        We will track the roll out to our government and non-sovereign clouds separately and communicate out expected dates as soon as we have a timeline we can share.

    Thanks, Kerem Yuceturk. I will discuss this with my client. 

     

    BTW, is this update also including the change allowing modification on redirection when people performing search from the search box and pressing the Enter button? Currently, this always goes to the "static" Modern search results page in layouts.

    We are very eager on starting to use https://github.com/microsoft-search/pnp-modern-search. 🙂
