No Result on Modern Document Library Search
Dear All,
Anyone face this kind of situation once i would like to search specific document in document library.
The search result is showing nothing. I clicked before for Reindex search in library setting.
Any other solution?
Thanks.

Is this a Group enabled team site? if so, what role in the Office Group do you have? you need to be in Members role, if you are only in the Owners role it won't work.

Hi Dean_Gross
Yes. It's Group enabled team site. I am site owner.
Your meaning that the site owner is required to be added in site member also? Thus he\she can search the result? Got any article from Microsoft to state about this?
Thought that site owner has the highest privilege to manage the team site including searching.
Please advice.
Thanks.

that is correct, I did to, and I spent hours arguing with MS about this a few months ago, it is not documented. Give it a try and see if it solves your problem, it did for me.

It will take a while before it gets indexed. I recommend that you wait a while and then try again.

Reindex has been clicked at 11am and waiting for 5 hours. However it still can't display the result.
Normally how long the duration shall we wait?
Thanks.

In the attached picture you are searching for "Document". Does that document contain any text? I have experienced earlier that if You create/upload a test-document that has no content You will not be able to search for it.
