SteffenHNW have you had any progress on this issue? We have been having this issue since 12/28 with any new files created.

    SageEdsall and SteffenHNW - We are experiencing the same symptom. Documents added to a specific document library after Dec 31, 2022 are not appearing in document library search results.  However, they DO appear when you expand the search to "search across sites".

     

    I was going to try reindexing, but have not yet because this particular document library is huge. 

     

    Edit:  I just checked a couple other SP sites in our tenant and some random document libraries in them.  The issue is the same everywhere.  No documents added in 2023 are returned in the document library search.  They only return in a "search across sites" search.

      Hi SageEdsall and bperry ,

       

      today I have opened a microsoft support case for this problem.

      I'll report the resolution as soon as I get the answer.

       

      Greets,

      Steffen!

        Happy Monday SteffenHNW !

        Just wondering if Microsoft has responded to your support case yet.

         

        I opened my own this morning.  Microsoft tech collected some details and is looking into it.
