Search is mission critical for me. I have 332k files indexed – shown below in windows 11 index status.
Couple of point of feedback: In the Search permissions
This clearly states my search results should include my content from
- OneDrive, SharePoint etc.
- BUT alas that is not true
- It only indexes the local content that has been downloaded – not cloud only content.
- I need to be able to search content locally, OneDrive online only and all of SharePoint (not locally downloaded)
Question: Why not allow Windows11 search access to the indexes Microsoft has already generated on SharePoint and OneDrive in the cloud ? – ie add them here…
Then I would be able to search all my data with for ”text strings" / content with confidence?
Many thanks for your kind consideration to this request.
Cheers
Ian
Windows 11 is now including SharePoint and OneDrive in my search results. Check out https://www.linkedin.com/feed/update/urn:li:activity:6959742354572414976 for details.
Also, make sure the Windows indexing service is working. I had problems with the local indexing, which prevented any results showing up in Windows. I know it shouldn't matter for content indexed by Microsoft Search, but it did for me.
