Communication sites - no search results on titles of Hero webpart
Hi all, When I search for a title set/saved in the Hero/Quick Link webpart, I get no results in de search center. Is this normal SP behaviour?
You're right. Here some screenshots.
1. The title of this tile in the Hero webpart is "issue".
2. When I search this word, SP doesn't find the title and give it as a result.
Web parts are not data and therefore not indexed, you won't get results from that. You need to link to a page called issue or something similar then you would get a result for that destination.
- Thanks for your reply and I understand the choice Microsoft have made. BUT....
For example, when I use the Quick link webpart in a Intranet and one item refers to an external application, a user can't find anything with search about this app. Am I correct?The properties of those web parts are contained within the web part. The contents of a page is contained within CanvasContent1. This property is not indexed by SharePoint because it yields unfavorable results from the search center. You could create a new managed property for this and have it be searchable, but you won't like the results in the search center, because the return value is going to be a bunch of HTML.
If you want to classify pages, the best way to do that is to use the Page Details.
