    trchughes Yes! I tested this on multiple SharePoint people search result pages, and they all land on a fully loaded Delve profile page without having to refresh. Thank you all for your timely responses and effort to knock this one out!

Mikael Svenson I'm not sure I understand your response. You're saying it's expected behavior for an OOTB SharePoint people search result to open an empty page when selected? How does that make sense?

jmarc1221 I'm saying if you visit a profile page for a user which has never logged in or visited their ODB, I think it might be yes. You state a reload makes it work. Did I understand that correctly? Meaning, it happens only once per non-logged in user?

 

It's a corner case for users not to have visited their ODB/Profile page at least once before someone starts visiting their profile. If I understood the scenario you can ensure all users have an ODB.
