SharePoint Online Modern Search and Filter Question
Have a question. I saw in a demo a consultant put on for us they were able to add a search bar to the home page of a site. That when you search on the right-hand side the filter pane comes up like when you're trying to adjust what you want to filter on in a list or a library. I really liked this feature but not for there cost :). I would like to do it on my own but don't seem to see where to get started. Anyone have any ideas. Were using Modern Sharepoint Site with a document library that uses content types. There all filterable / searchable in the document library just not on the main home page.

Hey ipconfig_28,
Do you mean this: https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/Microsoft-Search-Blog/Welcome-to-Microsoft-Search-intelligent-search-for-the-modern/ba-p/531156
They are rolling out a search experience.You can also build your own search webpart to implement on your SharePoint sites.
Here is some documentation about building and deploying webparts:

Let me now if this helps!ipconfig_28 any news when Microsoft is bringing out the update? Really need this update in the modern UI. Now i use the classic webpart, Refinement web part.
The way they had it was there was a search bar at the top and when you typed in an word to search the filter pain showed up on the left.

It feels like your talking about a classic search page. It provided filters on the left of the results.
A lot of companies still create sites and features using classic site collections because you can use old scripts.
I have tried the old classic search results page in SharePoint Online.
