Indexing of MSG files with attachments in SharePoint

Copper Contributor

Hello,

 

I have a question on indexing/searching in M365 SharePoint Online ... if I take an Outlook email message with attachments, and save it as a MSG file (which will have the embedded attachment), and then upload that MSG file to SharePoint Online, will the content of the attachment be indexed/searchable?

 

I.e., should I be able to search in SharePoint for a term/value that is contained in the attachment and get the attachment (or at minimum the MSG file) back in my results?  Currently it looks like this does not work out of the box, but should/can it work?  Is there some additional indexing setup that can be enabled to support this?

 

Thanks
