Stabilize sharepoint search
MrMarshall
The file formats need attention. The content of dxf files is not indexed (only the filename). Possibly same applies to the nc1 files. Happy to test the indexing of nc1 on my 2 tenants. If you can share a sample file without sensitive or privacy information that would be great.
The number of files should not matter. Search is not affected by list view threshold problems.
About the pdf files: are they PDF files with text content or are they PDF files containing only images (e.g. output format of a scanner)?

Paul de Jong Hi! Yes, .pdf should it be.
Sorry for being unclear, I am not searching for the file content. It's enough to try searching for the names..
MrMarshall
PDF clear. Indexing filenames for exotic formats like .nc1 should work.I just tested this on my tenant with a modern UI. and it does not work. then tried a bit later and it worked fine.
To check if the file is actually properly indexed use the search api. e.g. enter the following in a browserhttps://<yourcompany>.sharepoint.com/https://slimapplications.sharepoint.com/_api/search/query?querytext=%27(0NeuEon*)%27
and replace <yourcompany> and <filename> by values for your environment.
It looks like the indexing and search is working OK but the modern interface for search is intermittently broken.Paul
