Microsoft Search
Mikael Svenson Inputs from you would be very helpful Sir.
It is October 1st 2021 been almost a year and GCC tenants still does not have " Microsoft search " in SharePoint Online yet.
Could not find any roadmap either.
Looks like it is not communicated properly in public articles.
Still I can see the search bar appear on Left (team site) and Right side (communication)
My customer's main goal was to disable this search box and not confuse users as they have deployed PNP search.
Unfortunately the commands only works for Microsoft search.
Set-PnPSearchSettings -SearchBoxInNavBar Hidden -Scope Site
Would really appreciate if you can suggest some workaround solution.
Prattay How did your agency vet and approve the Modern Search PnP? Since it is open source, our CISO is not inclined to allow its use since we don't "trust" the source as purely Microsoft produced. Any thoughts would be helpful.
Prattay I was happy too early. The built-in search box is located more than the home page. For example, it is on the document library page and it is still visible. Please advise a way to disable once for all if possible. And the document library page doesn't seem to allow for editing. Thanks.
- Our org is in the same boat. I think customization is the only way out here.
Luckily I came across this site which has lots of spfx extensions.

You must have developer skills to customize sharepoint online, if the out of the box is not what you want.
Microsoft SharePoint free supports do not have any SLA for customization. They only deal with out-of-box features. If you have a premier subscription, then you can avail Developer support directly from microsoft. Again I thnk its is high time you hire a tleast 1 developer for Sharepoint online if you are planning to go with customization. Because the out-of-the box features are not that intuitive.
Jeremy Wood I think pnp community can be trusted even though it is open-source. The only difference is that PNP team does not have any SLA and can take any no of days to address your queries or fix a bug.
