Empty library search - Sharepoint online

Brass Contributor

Hi,

 

24h ago, I created a document library and added some Word documents. I can find these documents with the website search, but if I use the search in document library, the results are always empty.

Search option for this library is activated.. reindex didn't help though.

Can somebody help me with this problem?

 

Thanks

Not sure if this will help :) After changing the versioning settings for my library, I have experienced the same issue. Reading the conversation here was very helpful, as David mentioned only Documents with a Major version will appear in Search.
1. Check your Versioning Setting (Have selected to Create major and minor (draft) versions?).
2. Upload your document.
3. Go to the ... (3 dots) / More / Publish (as soon as you have published, the document will appear in search, too).
Hope this will help.
