SharePoint Microsoft Search
Hello,
I am fairly new to SharePoint Online and its searching capabilities. I have been trying to figure out how the search box in the top bar is configured. When I navigate to my company's SharePoint Online Main Site Employee Portal and try to search for something no results come up, but as soon as I choose the "Search for in all content" or "Organization" before the ">" of the directory path of where it is searching, what I am looking for pops up. It seems when I choose one of these two options it is searching among all Office 365 applications of what a user has access to, as I've noticed some OneNote results and such pop up, it seems this top search box is Microsoft Search?
My question is, is there a way to get it so that Microsoft Search top search box is always searching through everything a user has access to in all Office 365 apps when on a SharePoint Online site?
Any solutions, tips, or work arounds are incredibly appreciated!
Thank you,
Nathan
- Look at setting the search scope of the search bar. You can set it to global and it will search everything like the default root org search will search by default. https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/SharePoint/Configure-modern-search-results-to-search-all-of-your/td-p/447334

ChrisWebbTech Thank you, Chris! Exactly what I was looking for. I guess I wasn't searching hard enough for the answer.
