Modern pages - highlighted content no results
MicrosoftWe've made an update to Highlighted content, to broaden Managed metadata queries to search for content types beyond what we manually filter for (e.g. Tasks, Issues, Events, Document, Pages, etc.).
Our initial design pre-filtered your managed metadata query by these content types.
Therefore if you were searching for something else (e.g. sub-sites), you would see no results.
Now you will.
Highlighted content is not yielding any results on one of my team sites using the default settings. It worked at one point, and I'm not sure what changed. If I expand the search results to all sites, then I see results from other SharePoint sites. Any ideas?
- John_SandersNick - the default settings would show most recent documents on the site. Since you said it worked at one point, I assume there are still documents on the site (e.g. they weren't moved/deleted)?
Highlighted content depends on search, have you made any changes to search on this site?
Assuming for a moment there are other content types on the site (e.g. Pages, tasks, etc), what happens if you edit HC to show that content only from This Site?
We haven't made any changes that should impact basic search queries like this.Yes, the team site has docs and pages. I get no results if I set the Source to "This Site" or ("This Site Collection"), Type to "All", Document type to "Any", and have no filters. I'm guessing there might be a Site or Group Setting somewhere that's causing this unexpected behavior. Happy to help troubleshoot if you can give me direction.
- John_SandersNick - please find a document in your doc library, note the name. Then go back to the homepage for your site and search for that document by name (upper left corner).
Does it return results?
