When clicking on search results in modern team sites, blank tab is opened.
This just started happening today. When you search in a modern team site you get results. Upon clicking one of those results, in Chrome, a new blank tab is created with no search results within. If you click one of the results in Edge or IE 11, 2 new tabs open --> a blank page and a tab with the desired search results. Is Microsoft modifying modern pages underneath the hood?
We're actually having a similar but different issue. In any browser, on our modern sharepoint pages, when we type something into the search box, a blank page is returned. This happens on Chrome, FF and IE. We just migrated the bulk of our intranet over to modern, and this is causing a huge issue!
That doesn't sound good, Gretchen!
I would suggest opening a new topic, though, as this one is old and may not get the views you need.
As the migration is new, I'm wondering if it may be most helpful to open a Microsoft Support ticket?
Hope it is soon solved!
We are experiencing the same problem with one additional scenario.
Some users get an about:blank tab that opens before their page opens.
Some users only get the blank page. This happens for those that do not allow pop ups in their browser.
So far I've seen it occur in ie 11 and Chrome 66.0.3359.139.
We first noticed the problem on 5/4/2018.
Maybe someone from Microsoft can help StephenRice any thoughts on this issue?
We've tested again today and this seems to no longer be an issue. Clicking upon search results in Chrome or IE 11 no longer opens a blank tab and the search results are working. Thanks for all the responses!
1) Go to a modern Team Site
2) In the top-left corner, use the search box to type in a search item and then press enter
3) Search results appear:
4) click on one of the search results and in IE 11\Edge, you will see the tab you have the search results on, a blank tab will have opened and on the third tab the search results will have opened (in Screenshot). In Chrome, only the blank tab will be opened and no search results.
