I have see in my Tenant it's a default crawled property ows_LinkFilename, you can try to map the Crawled Property to a new Managed Property and activate the option searchable.
It's not possible to set more or do an index reset. Maybe you can create an MS Ticket.
Best, Dave
- PicardWineryDec 14, 2023Copper ContributorThanks for the response - after initiating a crawl it might have resolved itself. There are quite a few more results now.
We are simply using the search function that is built into every modern SharePoint Online site!
I just wanted to be certain that I wasn't missing anything before I talked to MS. I read the MS articles about SPOnline search, and it appears that re-crawling is the only option to correct this type of issue. Also, since the field they're searching against is a default built-in, I wanted to be certain that someone didn't exclude it from the crawl somehow.
Thank you!
