SharePoint Online Search Filters - Managed Metadata

My-atix 

In addition to Alan's valid points, I would like to add that you can't hide the search in the top center if you use the PnP Search Web part, so you end up with 2 search boxes that do vastly different things, and the oob search box takes you to a different page, screwing up the navigation.  Its VERY confusing to the end users.

We have numerous customers that require managed metadata filters in the Modern SharePoint experience and the lack of this functionality is very restrictive at present. Trying to get clients away from working with classic folders to structure content and instead tagging content is very difficult when you can't filter on the metadata tags that are applied...

I understand that Microsoft has a focus on implementing a common search experience across all it's M365 products which makes a lot of sense but there is an obvious requirement for a large number of businesses to have the ability to filter content based on their company information architecture/ taxonomies.

Microsoft should not be making the experience worse in key areas such as content tagging and  filtering. 

I am also aware that there is an advanced PnP Modern Search WebPart solution on offer which is a great piece of work... but this requires that customers implement custom solutions on their tenants which then need to be maintained and managed and not all businesses wish to go down this route. Based on the speed of the Microsoft's Evergreen approach (Continuous Feature Development) I can understand that customers are less inclined to deploy custom solutions and would rather use standard features... It just a shame that these key features aren't available to support the filtering of labelled content.

Microsoft it is time you provided this feature... Modern sites have been around for a long time now and so has the PnP Modern Search solution. Where is the "Out of the Box" solution for filtering search content?

Simeon_Hemus There is now a 'PnP modern search web part' which you can grab off Github, which seems to allow such filtering.

ASpinner The Roadmap ID 34273 - Microsoft Search GA which is now already launched doesn't seem to add the capability to have custom filters that will refine a search by using managed metadata.

I went onto Microsoft's Roadmap site and found this ID 57054 - Custom verticals and refiners in Microsoft Search
New support for custom verticals and refiners in Microsoft Search allows you to customize out of the box verticals for Microsoft Search, add custom refiners, create new verticals for SharePoint and OneDrive, and create modern result types with modern display templates with adaptive cards for OneDrive and SharePoint content.

Does anyone know if this will allow you to add Custom Filters to the search so you can filter on Managed Metadata?

Any idea's when this will be launched on the Roadmap page it says Status: In development, with Release: Q2 CY2020 which has already pasted...
