Missing search bookmarks - Search in Hub only

Hello PrescientWard 

currently it's by design, you have no options to change it in the default Microsoft Search.

Best, Dave

PrescientWard This is by design - or at least how it works currently. Bookmarks, acronyms, Q&A, etc. only work when you search from the organization level. Not a bug, but a current feature. It just depends on what outcome you are trying to achieve. 

It would be helpful to know the context of what you are trying to accomplish. If you are limiting search to a hub for your intranet experience, you will not be able to leverage that capability if you are restricting the search scope. Since search only finds content to which you have at least read permissions, you may want to think about restricting permissions rather than limiting search at the “front door” of the intranet if that is your use case. You can then use bookmarks to ensure specific content shows up first . If you are just talking about search within a specific hub, the scope is naturally restricted to just the hub so you wouldn’t need to do anything to make that happen. 

PrescientWard I'm glad that you voiced this question - my reaction is exactly the same. In my org the majority of our end-users search using SharePoint (Comms / teams sites ect.). So, like you,  I am absolutely gob smacked that they wouldn't allow the end user to surface acronyms and bookmarks from their SharePoint site. this is especially crazy to me seeing as how Intranets are designed specifically to connect our users with specific content (parking, booking desks, Benefits, etc.) - it's the obvious interface for them use!

It's absolutely bonkers. this is not a feature, it's an oversight.
