Empty library search - Sharepoint online
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.

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?
- SteffenHNW and SageEdsall - I can confirm that files added today to the document libraries I've tested with this issue are showing up in "document library" search results. It does seem like something changed. I didn't do a re-index on either of the document libraries I'm using for testing.
FYI - the document libraries I'm using for this test are in different SP sites.Hi @SageEdsall and @bperry ,
24h after the reindex it looks like it doesn't help. But Microsoft support says it can be 72h.
If the search isn't working in 48h, I will reupload the files.
Greets, Steffen
SteffenHNW - Thanks for the update.
I received a response from Microsoft Support instructing me to run the repairSPOSite cmdlet.
Repair-SPOSite (Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.PowerShell) | Microsoft Learn
I am hesitant to run that on one of the document libraries where this has been noticed due to the size. There are 10's of thousands of documents in it.
That said, I am going to run it on a smaller site and I'll report the results here.
