Hi Christopher,

MicrosoftDeleted,
Thanks for reporting this bug to us. I am just back from Chinese New Year holiday. Sorry for the late response. Let me repeat the steps about the bug you find to ensure we are actually talking about exactly the same error
1. In team site A, on the left top corner search bar, type something and press enter to open the search page of site A. The URL in the browser are like https://microsoft.sharepoint.com/teams/A/_layouts/15/search.aspx/siteall?q=quickchart&s=17592498740021
2. In site B, paste this URL to the quick links so that we suppose to click on the link to open the same search page with same search result in site A
3. But actually, when I click on the link in quick links, it open the link but there is nothing in the page.
4. I press the refresh button of the browser, it shows the right search result in site A
Is it the same error?
Steve Zhang No, same as original post, except the search bar on top right on commsite doesn't change context, it might do the same for other searches haven't tested, but basically a quick link to another site collection changes site but doesn't refresh the page, this used to cause the cog wheel menu items to use the site you came from context, but you guys fixed that. However the search box wasn't updated and it still retains the context.
For example.
1. I start on site /sites/SiteA and click a quick link or link on that page to /sites/SiteB
2. On siteB i go to the search box in top right corner and start typing and all results are from SiteA.
3. If I refresh the page it works correct with SiteB search.
It's something with links going site to site for speed purposes I guess not switching those controls context to the new site. Whatever you guys did to fix the "Site Content", "Add App" etc. needs same thing applied to search box :).
I can do a video if you can't reproduce of those notes, just let me know.
