Microsoft Search - does not respect hidden user accounts!
Hi Everyone, We have hybrid onprem and M365 environment. To hide user accounts e.g. service accounts from SharePoint online intranet search we use Tania Menice method of setting the Exchange property msExchHideFromAddressLists = true https://techcommunity.microsoft.com/t5/sharepoint-support-blog/exclude-users-from-delve-and-sharepoint-online-people-search/ba-p/170731 To illustrate the issue lets assume: - In active directory on premise and azure a user exists Careers@mycompany.co.nz - This user has msExchHideFromAddressLists = true, so searching for Careers in Outlook shows no suggested email address If we were using Classic SharePoint Online search this is fine e.g. /search/Pages/peopleresults.aspx#k=careers will not return our test user BUT We are using the Microsoft Search , organisation wide within our SharePoint online environment. Searching for careers /_layouts/15/search.aspx?q=careers shows our test user despite msExchHideFromAddressLists = true If we search for careers again and add the -"SPS-HideFromAddressLists":1 term to our search we get /_layouts/15/search.aspx?q=careers%20%20-"SPS-HideFromAddressLists"%3A1 and our test user is not shown. My question to you dear reader: Is there somewhere I can set Microsoft Search so that it respects msExchHideFromAddressLists not just in the People vertical but in the ALL vertical ? NOTE I also tested BING logged in as my work account, exactly the same behaviour even down to understanding the -"SPS-HideFromAddressLists":1 term.
How to Show Floor Plan Details in Outlook Card?
Is it possible to show floor plan locations for a user in their Outlook / Teams card like how it shows when you look up the user via Microsoft Search? Below you can see a test user with office location B1/1002. You can't click on it to get more details. However on MS Search (Bing) you can click on the office location to get where it is on the map: Is there any way to extend this functionality to Outlook/Teams? Especially in regards to scheduling meetings, being able to see the floor plan location for a specific conference room account when booking.
