MicrosoftScoping of search in team site / communication sites
Hi!
I am working on the modern search experience in sharepoint. One of the things that we have had some feedback on is the scoping of search when searching from a team site or a communication s...
I think the default experience is correct, but agree that clicking SharePoint to search everything is not intuitive. I have had multiple users at two different clients ask me about how to search everything. There needs to be something more explicit!
Why not something similar to amazon. For ex when you look for watches it takes you to Clothing, Shoes & Jewelry section and you can change the search scope to all departments within the searchbox itself. I think some thing similar for sitecollection and sharepoint search would be helpful. User can upscope to All SharePoint to get results from entire sharepoint from site specific search
- Yeah that would be nice for scope instead of just type. However also something to keep in mind. Whatever you guys decide. Do a few different methods and give your people choice in the SharePoint admin center ;). That way you can reach and make more people happy having more than one way instead of trying on an exact way that you think works best for all. You don’t have to go crazy with options but a handful is always nice!
