SharePoint Online search results grouped in cutsom view

Brass Contributor

In my SharePoint Online tenant, I use views within document libraries and document sets to help organise content.


When my users perform a search within a library or document set with a custom view applied, the search results are grouped by that custom view, rather than appearing as a list of documents.

 

For example, in a library I may group content by a custom Year column and the view is set to display as collapsed. If I perform a search in that library, any results are grouped by year in a collapsed format, so you can't actually see the individual documents.

 

Once the search has been performed, the view cannot be changed - it appears to be locked.

 

Is there a way to override this and have the search results appear as a list of documents?


Ideally I'd like to see the results from within a library or document set displayed in the "All items" format (/_layouts/15/search.aspx/siteall).
