MicrosoftUpdate: Document Sets in Modern Document Libraries
Just to clarify my search box question, I’m in targeted release and using the new search box placed in the centre of the page header.
At the site level, the default search box text is ‘Search this site.’
Within a library, the default search box text is ‘Search this library’.
Within a modern document set, the default search box text remains ‘Search this library’.
Using the search box while the document set is open appears to search the entire library, rather than limiting the search to the document set itself.
Is there any setting to limit search to ‘Search within this document set’?
Ryan_McConville I see that we don't update the "Search this library" text when you enter a document set, but I would expect the search box to show you results from the document set (or generic folder) whose contents you're currently viewing. It might also show you the document set that you're currently in. It can also include items in any folders your document set contains (and their sub-folders, and so on down).
Are you seeing results from the root level of the list when you're in a document set and you search?
Hi Michael
I have a suggestion for modern document sets concerning Views.
I have a number of views set in each document library. Some views apply at the library level, while others are intended for use within a document set. The list can be quite long.
The library views don’t make sense within a document set, and the document set views don’t make sense at the the library level. However, all views are available at all times.
It would be great if we could set/filter our views as ‘always available’, ‘library only’ and ‘document set only’. This would allow us to offer shorter lists of views, present only relevant views, and in turn reduce potential confusion for end users.
Thanks Michael - I see now that the search is limited to the document set, which is great. My apologies for the confusion.If the search box text can be updated for folders/document sets in a future release that would be great, just to keep it consistent with the 'Search this site' and 'Search this library' text and avoid confusion.
