SPO Search & Results Web Part - OOTB??

Hello, 

Does anyone know if or when Microsoft will release an OOTB Search & Results Web part for SPO sites?

 

We would love the ability to add search & result webparts on pages where-ever we like, as the search box at the top of the page is often overlooked. Surely creating such webpart would not be too difficult to provision out of the box!?

 

I have seen custom built solutions such as this - https://developer.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/blogs/pnp-webcast-sharepoint-framework-modern-search-web-part/ - but as a non-developer I was unable to get this installed and working. 😞

    Hi DanielaH 

     

    You can download the https://github.com/SharePoint/sp-dev-solutions/releases/download/ms-2019-08-14/pnp-react-search-refiners.sppkg

     

    Then follow the instruction to upload and install it on your tenant: https://docs.microsoft.com/en-us/sharepoint/dev/spfx/web-parts/get-started/serve-your-web-part-in-a-sharepoint-page#deploy-the-helloworld-package-to-app-catalog

     

    No coding required.

      Thanks, WinfredLiu 

      I'll give that a try. Just curious - How much maintenance is required for this? 

      Anything customized needs monitoring and maintenance as MS releases backend changes all the time which might break the solution...
