Instructions on configuring a customized Search Page in SharePoint
Is there any instructions on creating and/or customizing SharePoint search and not use the PnP webparts? I thought I had seen something a few years ago, but now I can't find it, everything, including YouTube points you to the PnP Search webparts. My company is worried about security of APIs.
- Hi Kim,
Microsoft doesn't provide customizable search webparts for modern pages. You can still use the classic webparts, but this is only available for classic pages.
Here is some detail on the API's used by PnP Search that may help answer the security concerns.

The source code is also available to review. I have worked with several companies who have reviewed the source code before approving the use of PnP Search.

I hope this helps.
