MicrosoftSearching documents with "Sensitivity" Label-ID
Well we have made the field "InformationProtectionLabelId" as Managed Property. So as a App or a User if you want a list of files having a specific label you can simply search using the label's GUID....
Thanks for the info, it's very helpful to identify sensitive files in our environment. However, we noticed that this search can only work for Office files. Is there a plan to include other file types in the search index as well?

Microsoftgw_ap320: In future we ill include PDF.
Sanjoyan Mustafi , thanks for the confirmation! BTW, two more questions if you don't mind:
- Will other file types be supported too? (we have some sensitive files not in Office and PDF format, want to have visibility as well)
- Is there a rough ETA for the support?
- PDF support is finally coming in March 2022!!!!

No mention of support for other file types 😞- Sanjoyan MustafiFiles that do not have Metadata storage is difficult to just label as there is no place to store the label. Like a txt file. These files can only be encrypted. With Word, Excel, PowerPoint and PDF we will cover 90% of most commonly used files ( that has metadata).
