Modern Document Library returns no search results
I agree, but we're getting off track with the purpose of my question.
Why isnt my search returning any results within this specific library, when other libraries work fine with the same search bar?
All settings are equel, but the amount of files is much much more.
Anyone?
- Did you open a support ticket so Microsoft can dig into this issue? If you switch to the classic view: does search work as expected?
No i havent, and yes i did and it doesnt work also in classic view.
So im guessing its a library thing on this specific case.
Hi Randy,
Did you ever open a ticket with Microsoft about this?
I have also expereienced this behaviour. Unfortunatley it seems that as soon as your store over 5000 files in a library you can potentially run into this issue.
When you hit Enter, the library is trying to filter results rather than use the search index. The resulting message is misleading when it suggests that 'No items match your search query'. That isn't actually true, it's just that SharePoint cannot display the items due to a limitation and therefore shows nothing.
It's been noted on user voice albeit with two votes
