PnP - Site property bag items not indexed anymore by search
Hi Robert, any update from MS on this? Were you ever able to get this working reliably?
I'm creating a template from a modern team site, enabling script, updating the property bag (on the web), and then disabling script. I can see my property bag value, and I can see that it's been added to the vti_indexedpropertykeys, but it never shows up as a crawled property.
Hi Cameron,
I have been though long conversations with MS premier support. I got no clear answer, but as stated before when inheriting permissions for the start page the property bag items were picked up by search. At some test sites at our client at some point it was nog working and the other day it was working again. So support stated it was not reproducible anymore and therefore the case was closed. My client didn't have problems anymore after that.
I have to state that this was for classic sites. I am not really sure if Search will pick property bag items up on modern sites at all. By default scripts are disabled, so I could imagine that modern sites are skipped on this part. If you have anymore information if modern sites do support this, please let me know!
Thanks Robert, I appreciate the response. I've got the question posted up to a couple other boards. I'll come back update this thread when I find out more.
I've got my suspicions that it's somehow related to the modern site template as well. We haven't changed any of the permissions on the start page in our case so I'm not sure where to go from here.
Thank You! All of you for your feedback and observations !
I am considering to use the web level Indexed property bag option to implement a solution throughout my SPO tenant. However, based on all your observations it looks like indexed property bags are recently causing issues sporadically.
Is this issue only for modern team sites or classic site as well ?Please do share in case any latest update from MS PG on this.
I was seeing the issue on modern sites and was unable to get it working at all (not even sporadically). We ended up creating a custom schema for the O365 groups and stored our metadata there, where we were able to query the property using the Graph API.
