New SharePoint Search in Modern Pages
Hi
Does anyone know when this is being rolled out ?
I have a customer who wants search.
But I am not sure what to advise them. Either use an existing SPFx webpart which interfaces with the existing search results page or wait until Microsoft roll out the new search functionality - whatever that might contain.
I thought the new Modern Page Search Functionality was slated to be rolled out by now, but I have seen no sign of it on my first release tenant.
Thanks
Nigel
Hello,
I think depends on how your client structures their contents/files. If they apply content types and metadata extensively, maybe deploying a traditional Enterprise Search center would be a good approach. That way you can leverage query rules, search verticals, custom Display Template, and many other search configurations depends on their business cases.
Yes - I agree. But will all of this be supported by the 'New' search experience when it comes ?
I don't remember seeing anything about this in the SharePoint Conference last month. Did I miss something or has this been delayed indefinetly?
The last mention I saw was on the Message center with the following:
"We'll be gradually rolling this out to Targeted Release customers in late January/early February and the roll out will be completed by the end of March."
That also matches the Office 365 roadmap:
