SharePoint Online library search not working
The site I'm investigating now is a classic team site. Don't see an option to switch to the modern view, unfortunately. Pretty sure that the other sites where we faced this issue were also set up as classic team sites.
These are classic team sites, the option to change to modern in bottom left corner doesn't exist. I'm checking if we can temporarily change the list behavior, but I would also like to know if this should work.
As mentioned in the original post. Microsoft has stopped investigation because there are more than 5,000 items in the lists/libraries and the issue can't be reproduced in another list/library with fewer items.IMHO, this isn't correct. The library/list search should work even if you have more than 5,000 items. Microsoft has also not deprecated the classic experience for SPO.
<update> have asked Microsoft support to re-open the ticket. Will be documenting everything here.
Hi We are facing the similar issue.
