Hi John and Ivan.

I am working on search for hubsites and I can confirm the bug you are seeing. A fix is on its way and I will notify you when its available.

Just to see what the results for the hubsite looks like after switching tab while the fix is underway, you can refresh the browser when on i.e sites tab. You should then see all associated sites for the hub.

Thanks,

    Hi, can you confirm that associated sites are only visible in search when there are files in the sites themselves? I have sites associated to the hubsite for a couple of days now, without documents, and cannot see them in search results, even when searching the site title.

      Did you change from the All search results tab to the sites results tab after you entered the search page? If so you are hit by the bug from this thread.

       

      Also do you see the associated sites in the search box if you place the cursor there without any searchtext in the searchbox?

        It is indeed the same bug.

        Also do you see the associated sites in the search box if you place the cursor there without any searchtext in the searchbox? => No, nothing is shown.


        But when I hit enter, i get all results, including associated sites. Changing the tab to Sites, clears the results again. But refreshing the page on the same tab, does give me a list of associated sites.
        I will wait patiently on the update then ;)
