Suggestions for improvements to SharePoint Online Search results

Copper Contributor

You could say that our whole organization is unhappy with the state of SharePoint Search.

We have tried the following: 

  • Removing old/irrelevant data from Search
  • Attempted to set up Cognitive AI using Azure Connectors (super limiting as it does not provide security trimming and doesn't index pages, only documents)
  • Set up bookmarks, q&a, and acronyms  (this works but you can only do so much). There is also a training curve to get people to continue to build this out.

What are others doing? I hear that this is a common complaint but I am not hearing solid solutions. 

I would love to hear from you!

Hello @seattlefive 

 

you can configure filters or verticals in your Microsoft Search, i have blogged about this configurations: https://www.mehr365.com/artikel-publikationen/

 

Or for a fully customizeld search center, you can use the PnP Modern Search WebParts: https://microsoft-search.github.io/pnp-modern-search/

 

I have written more about the possibilities with search in M365: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/microsoft-365/community/microsoft-365-search-technologies?WT.mc_id...
