MicrosoftScoping of search in team site / communication sites
This is a great addition and will be helpful, however its implementation needs some more work.
I agree with the others that this is not intuitive, there are no visual cues or indicators that help the user discover this functionality. Replacing the word "sharepoint" with "search all sites" or something similar would make it obvious.
I agree that the label "SharePoint" could be more intuitive and self-explanatory. .
In addition, I would very much like to have an additional scope available: The Hub.
As I have posted here, https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/Search-across-sites-from-associated-hub-sites/td-p/213316, I would very much like to have the "Search across sites" search option be enabled or at least available on all associated sites as well, and not only on the hub site.
This could be an option on the Site Information page for the associated sites, or on Site Settings -> Search Settings, or similar. Maybe allow from the following alternatives:
- Global
- Site Collection
- Hub (only available if site associated to a hub)
- This Site only
This could be the default search behavior when the user starts typing, and hits Enter. When entering the Search Result page, the same alternatives could be made available to the user.
Hope this helps. :)
Kind Regards,
Frank
Geir-Magnus PettersenHi!
If you do a search directly from an associated site, the breadcrumb should show three parts. Sharepoint -> Hub site -> associated site. This is an example:
If this is not seen when searching from an associated site, its a bug. If so, please post me a private message or create a support ticket and we will investigate this issue.I agree with Frank-Ove. The option to have a default scope: 'the hub' for all associated sites would be very helpful.
