SharePoint Online Modern Experience Search || Custom Site Column to Crawled Properties Issue
Hello All,
I am facing elementary issue i.e. Custom Site Column is not appearing as Crawled or Managed Properties in SharePoint Online Modern Experience i.e. Communication and Team Site.
Steps Followed:-
- Created Communication or Team Site in SharePoint Online
- Created one site column.
- Created custom list and added custom site column.
- Activated all search related feature at Site & Web Level.
- Applied Re-Index entire site as well as custom list and wait for couple of hours.
As I navigate to Search Schema -> Search for custom site column under Managed & Crawled Property. It doesn’t appear, even I tried with prefix ows_ also.
Developer Site (Classic Experience)
Newly created site column appears within a minutes timeframe as Crawled & Managed Property.
Request you, If any one faced any such issue with modern experience. Please share your views.

Dear Manoj,
I read your contribution with great interest because I'm experiencing the same issue.
No matter what I do, SharePoint Online doesn't seem to create crawled/managed properties of my sitecolumns and taxonomy fields...Since your contribution is about 2 months old, I was wondering if you have solved this issue already?
I would love to hear from you.

Hello Ernst Wolthaus,
Yup, below mention issue has been resolved. I tried all scenario and finally raised a query to tenant admin to look into SSA.
What i heard back -> There was some issue due to patches updates. They re-applied the patches and did the configuration again at tenant level. After that i checked it start working.
I am really sorry, I don't have complete update of steps -> what Admin took. I shall try to reach to those guy and keep you post if possible.
Regards.
Hi Manoj Mittal, I am having the same issue right now in my tenant. May I ask for additional background info what you are meaning with " [...] finally raised a query to tenant admin"? Did you open a MS Support Ticket, or did your internal company IT admin fix that issue?
Thanks in advance

Manoj...a couple things to validate:
- When creating the site column and using it in the custom list, ensure that there is content in the column so the indexer picks it up.
- Is the site column being created at the root level site? Shouldn't matter but that's where I generally create mine.
After 15-30 minutes it will appear. I just repro it in my E3 tenant and it appears.
