One of our business units has put in a lot of work to populate multiple in depth wikis in numerous Team Channels. There has been some improvement with viewing all wikis you are apart of in the Wiki App. But we need to be able to easily search the wiki from the top search bar in Teams. Other wise the point of sifting through tons of wiki to find content is unusable. This also will show if there are multiple entries of the same type of content across multiple Wikis
Your scenario sounds best to be done in OneNote rather than Wiki. I view Wiki as a less formal way of sharing information with the team. We will support search more fully however I would recommend using OneNote and leveraging that robust search and integrated experience instead.
Agreed OneNote is powerful tool that I live off off. But the other tools in Team such as @Karuana Gatimu people or channels or teams in a article are some of the few features that makes it attractive to use. The tool is simple and powerful all at the same time and would be helpful to at least focus the search bar to the wiki app .... such as /wiki for quick notes maybe /searchwiki ?
@Karuana GatimuI'm working on a proof of concept for a client and found, when searching in Teams, the search recognizes that content is found in OneNote, but it doesn't deep link directly to the note (only links me to the tab). Is there a workaround? (Or am I missing a step?)
Hopefully we'll see more updates in 2019. Would advise to vote on it and it will inform you when the status changes (I.e. when it moves to Microsoft actively working on it).
+1 here, the Wiki becomes less useful the more you use it because there's too much content to scroll through to try to find the note you're looking for. The chances of someone other than the author knowing which section a piece of information is in is near-zero.
Searching Wiki Content should be possibly at least from the main search bar within Teams but a dedicated search in a wiki would make it also easier (to exclude search results outside of it).
Really surprised that not even the main search is working yet, it seems such basic core functionality needed for a content related site. Welcome to 2019.
I was in the process of setting up Teams as central repository for our UI specifications, and I am surprised and disappointed that Wiki isn't searchable. Back to the drawing board, I guess. Can anyone recommend a searchable Wiki platform?
Agree , very surprised wiki seems obvious to be used as a knowledge store for teams. and the is no deeplinking in onenote, so what is the way with teams to create knowledge and search over it ?
@Mark Paradis Since we use Teams for legal case management, if the wiki could be viewed or searched from outside the team, that would be an App Killer for us.
On second thought, perhaps the Private/Public setting could be the differentiator and would be the deciding factor. In that case we could live with it.
@John Bevis How would you fulfill a Data Subject Access Request wihout it? At my current level of understanding of the GDPR my interpretation is that there is an obligation to search any place where identifying data might be found.
The security appears to be role-based, the industry standard. Every user is assigned one or more roles which together define their access rights. Most people will be assigned the No Access role.
