Metadata Navigation and Filtering inside modern experience, has it been deprecated
From my on-premises experience, i always like to enable the site feature named "Metadata Navigation and Filtering", not just because it ease filtering items, but it add some filtering logic. ...

Correct, metadata navigation and filtering is not in modern experience and I have not heard about what's the plan to bring it to the modern experience
- azichettelloAug 12, 2021Copper ContributorIs there a reason that Microsoft is deprecating this feature? Is there some other feature that replaces it? I understand that it's a simplification but it's also a serious downgrade to usability for finding labeled content. In my experience, users need to be able to see the context of the labels they are searching for (hierarchy) and users want to be able to search for terms by aliases (key filter). Oddly, both of these functions have been incorporated into the modern experience for adding labels to items, just not finding items with the label...I don't understand this decision.

- azichettelloFeb 25, 2022Copper ContributorSince this initial post, Microsoft has implemented several features into Key Filters including seeing the labels in Tree View (though you have to click through several buttons to find it) and just recently added the ability to Select All labels in a hierarchy (descendants). There is one important function still missing: Access to the Other Labels and Description information from within the search. Microsoft did implement a text search to find labels, but it doesn't include the Other Labels, nor Description and there isn't anyway to see that information while filtering.
