Sites does not appear in search
Hi together.
I've set up a SharePoint intranet like this:
- Communication site (Hubsite)
- team site
- team site
So my problem is now, that the team sites are not appearing when I'm searching for them.
What I did before for troubleshooting the problem:
- Checked if the site is searchable in "Search and offline availability > Allow this site to appear in search results? > Yes/No"
- Checked the permissions for the site (Groups are inheriting the permissions from parent)
- Owners > Full Control
- Visitors > Read
- Members > Edit
- Reindex site
- Put in the site URLs in "authoritative websites" in the SharePoint admin center > Search
I really don't know what I can check or doing for next steps to bring the sites up on the search.
Thanks.
I'm not sure who needs to see this, but I sure did ... after days of pulling out my hair. Turns out being owner of a site isn't enough to have permission to see it in your search results.
