Hey Justin, it may be that your user data is still being indexed and therefore Copilot may not have a reference to it yet. If you're an admin, you can check the status of indexing through the Microsoft 365 admin center.

Otherwise, the index isn't so much about file structure or system, more so about the relevancy and context of the data.
Understood, thank Gabe. I guess my feedback on that point is this: many businesses will actually capture a lot of context and "metadata" in the filesystems. E.g., folder structure is regional hierarchy state/district/county/city/office and then under that maybe a couple of special folders for "YET_TO_BE_PROCESSED". And even if it is best practices to have rich detailed "document properties" type metadata that also captures this, there are many filetypes that do not offer such metadata (even if I could get the budget to have people go back across all the files and insert and update metadata like that).
- Appreciate that feedback! I'll take that back to the team. We're continuing to invest in Search, Copilot being a critical beneficiary of that so I'm sure they'll appreciate the insight here.
