SharePoint Search Won't Find Documents Within Library
It's been 2 months and I still haven't been able to find a resolution. Anybody have any ideas?
Hello Regamble
i have checked the scenario, it works fine:
Which Search do you use? Also the Microsoft Search on top?
Are your documents checked-in and published as major version?
Best, Dave
Hi Dave,
Thank you for your reply. I'm using the global search from the top of the SharePoint screen. All documents are checked in, only major versions. From the parent site, everything works like it should, searching and finding all documents from the subsite. The subsite has 6 libraries, all of which have documents that properly show up in the search from the parent site. However, this is why I'm so confused, if I go to the subsite and perform the same search, it does not search within the libraries.
So, I have a library on the subsite named "Reports" that has about 100 excel reports in it. From the parent site, if I search for "01_25_2024_HR" then it shows up in the results. But, from the subsite where the library lives, if I search for that same document, I get nothing. This is true of every document in my subsite. Shows up when searching from the parent site but does not show up when searching from the subsite where the library lives and the document is stored.
Thanks,
Rob
