Search not returning results
I have been experiencing issues with the search where it was working well until a couple months ago. Using SharePoint Online I have a document library with a lot of folders and misc other things ...
Bahalzamon..... Have you resolved this issue yet? Just wondering, we are having the same issue. When searching a document library in SharePoint the only results that are returned are documents, and some sub folders.
- Unfortunately no.
What I ended up doing as a work around that I feel will only work for my situation is to create a button with HTML/JS and a text input to automatically navigate to the folder with the value that is typed in the input.
As the folder they are looking for is the account number they just copy and paste it into the text area and click the button and it opens a new tab that is navigated into the folder. It does not have any error handling or anything, so if they type in any random string it will attempt to navigate there.
It works for their need but is NOT in any way a solution for this issue.Bahalzamon I'm having the same issue using sp.search to search for hub sites and their associated sites. I'm getting incomplete associated site results where I know for a fact that there are sites in existence. I've been told that there could be indexing issues with MS's Search - happening since January. It's a notification in the Admin centre apparently.
