SharePoint Search API response schema changes
- My take is this. You should only expect properties you ask for. These may or may not have values depending on the property. As such, you should not have a rigid schema to validate returned data.
DocumentSignature/CollapseStatus are by no means new ones. As for other props these can and will change as we make changes. And the schema contract is a weak one and you should only count on any public documented properties or those you have created yourself.
Hope this makes sense 🙂
Here are some findings in the results I'm getting. I've updated my power automate json schema (now I will always put things like "anyOf": ["type": "string", "type": "null"] in my schema definition) but I'm worried about the impact of these types of changes as I'm building flows for a lot of customers...:

Hope this makes sense 🙂- Hi Mikael, I agree and that is what I've done to fix my schema parsing. However I'm wondering why results properties like Culture is now returning null. Is this an issue?
Thanks.- MikaelSvenson
Martin-Coupal Not really as Culture is just echoing the culture passed in on the query. If you want to know the language of an item look at DetectedLanguage.
