PnP - Site property bag items not indexed anymore by search
Created a premier call for this issue at Microsoft. Got the following answer back:
I just had a quick chat with our Product team. The information I heard was not favorable at all.
As per the conversation they said Search is not indexing site property bag anymore. The change have been introduced recently.
So if you have any solutions using this technique, it won't work anymore!
This just can't be true...I can't imagine they'd introduce a breaking change like this without further notice. This would impact so many customers...
But I have noticed a similar issue these days. In the end it turned out the issue only occures if you change permissons on the pages library or directly on the homepage of your site. In my case we had set read only permissions on the homepage so users could not modify the page.
Any chance this could be the same issue with your site?
After we changed that, everything worked perfectly again. Strange thing is...it only happend on some sites, but after the change it never happened again so far.
I still think it is a bug, but I have learned, working around issues is a lot easier and faster than waiting for MS to fix them...

AFAIK the pnp provisioning engine does set the properties on SPWeb. There is no propertybag on sitecollection level....
Look at the issue I described above. Are you changing permissions for the sitepages library or the homepage? This might solve your problem...

Oliver,
Thank your for your information. I indeed change the permissions on the homepage. I will test if this will solve the issue. Though, I am still bussy with Premier support and they are stating it is removed.
