Unusual Search Results in Sharepoint "PnP Search Results"
Hello js10
do you save site pages in a folder, right?
Currently it's not possible to approve a folder via the SharePoint GUI. Last time we create a Power Automate Flow to set a folder as "Approved".

Hey
I reindexed the pages and it made no changes in the serch results.
However I found the root of the problem.
I tested a few cases and the iusse is with the approval status of the folders.
I the file is inside of the 'Approved Folder' then it appears in the search result.
The key issue is that I do not know how this folder gets 'approved'. For example I created a folder and all of the files inside it are published, still the approval status of the page is 'pending'.
So is there a way to 'Approve' the folder itself? If there is, that'll be the ultimate solution.
Thanks!

Hey,
Thanks for the idea, I did create a power automate workflow and it worked!
I can approve the folders. But there still persists a new issue.
case 1: Created a new folder, approved it, published files inside it, they are appearing in the search results
case 2: Approved an already existing folder and the files inside it are not appearing in the search results.
Do you have any idea about the reason?
Thanks,

Hi js10
it is obviously due to the constellation with folders. Make sure that all folders and all pages are approved and published.
Or, you don't make any folders and can thus avoid this problem.

Yes
I have already existing folders and pages but if I copy them the timestamps will get messed up and also I'll need to publish them again,
Is there any way to 'move' the pages to a new folder and not copy them?
Thanks!
