SharePoint Online Homesite shows HOME rather than name of the site or group
In case anyone else has this issue, here's what we did to solve it. You'll need the SharePoint admin role and (probably) a ticket open with Microsoft to recrawl your SharePoint sites.
1. In the SharePoint Admin center -> More features -> Search -> Manage Search Schema
2. Filter/search for "Title", then click Title to open its settings
3. Scroll down to the very bottom to "Mappings to crawled properties" and move "Basic:displaytitle" so it's at the top of the order. Hit OK.
4. Wait 72 hours
5. Have Microsoft recrawl all your SharePoint sites on the back end (or you might be able to just wait a bit?)
Hope this helps, good luck out there!
vani Doh! it makes so much sense that it is the search "Managed properties" order that is the problem.
On
My tenant's "mappings to crawled properties" field was
- Title
- title
- ows_Title
- TermTitle
- ows_BaseName
- MailSubject
- Mail:5
- People:PreferredName
- Basic:displaytitle
- Basic:#10
- Basic:#9
- MetadataExtractorTitle
- MetadataExtractorTitle
I moved
- Basic:displaytitle
to the very top.
We have a long weekend here in New Zealand so I've taken a copy of
https://MyTenant.sharepoint.com/_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx?v=following
And I'll compare it to the same page next week and let you know how it goes.
Many thanks for replying to this very old post 🙂- Did it work for you? I'm dying to know!
Hi vani ,
Turns out when i looked again, most (but not all) of my sites had the correct names i.e. not HOME.
But there were still a few, less than 10%, that this change to the order worked for.
So thank you vani , great tip, and a good reminder that when things in SharePoint land are really weird, community support is AWESOME.
