Empty library search - Sharepoint online
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.
Hi bperry ,
the microsoft supporter said he is going to answer on tuesday.
But today something changed. If I upload a new file or update details of a file, then it appears in the search. Can you see this behaviour, too?
I started a reindex.. perhaps its working tomorrow.
Steffen
Hi SteffenHNW
We are also able to search new files created after 1/6, but still unable to search files created between 12/28 and 1/6. Can you let us know if the reindex allows you to search the previously unsearchable files?
