Image Search Filetype Refiners on SharePoint Online
Has anyone found a way to refine search results by filetypes for images in a picture library? The extension is shown as (aspx) for my images, but they are all .jpg files. I'm using SharePoint Online....
When you click on the item link, does it open the list item view page or just the image? I suspect the results are the items and not the images which is as expected as SharePoint indexes the list item. If you use an Assets library instead that might work as you expect but I haven't tested it
It does navigate to the properties page. I believe this is due to not being able to add .jpg or .png files to the list of crawled files in SharePoint, since I am using the Online version. Why they don't include these is completely beyond me.
However, if you use a regular document library, then the list items are ALL that is displayed, with not even a picture preview. Because I've put these in a picture library, the images are displayed in the search results. Other than that I haven't been able to figure out much.
