PnP - Site property bag items not indexed anymore by search
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.
The issue was on classic sites. I have used indexed property bags a lot, not causing any troubles. As stated above in the older posts, there were some issues when the welcome page got broken permissions on it. Next to this issue, I have never had any other issue. I haven't used this technique on Modern sites yet. So if you have anything to share?
Hi everyone,
I currently have an issue where a web property bag key does not get indexed, even after several days.
I've added the property bag entry to a subweb of a Project Web App site. This subweb has unique permissions assigned and is a classic site. The welcome page of the subweb does not have unique permissions assigned.
It also seems that regular content gets crawled normaly. Does anyone have some thoughts on this?
