SharePoint Hub Site Search Bug

Hi,    I've been playing around with Hub Sites in our tenant and I think I've noticed a bug with search in hub sites. Maybe someone can recreated this scenario in their tenant to verify if it's jus...

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 ;)

        I'm currently seeing documents on associated sites when I initially click the search bar on a page, but when I type the file name and click through the search it no long shows up. Is this a related bug?
