Outlook search doesn't work when I add "include older results"
I've been seeing this problem since our company's latest update to Office 365. We're on Version 2008 (Build 13127.21216 Click-to-Run). When I search it works as expected. As soon as I click on "Include older results" I see all the mail in my inbox, not just the items that match my search criteria.Restricted Content Discovery
SharePoint Advanced Management includes a feature called "Restricted Content Discovery" aka RCD. The FAQs mention that: Restricted Content Discovery only affects tenant-wide search (SharePoint home, Office.com, Bing) and Microsoft 365 Copilot But then it goes on to mention: Restricted Content Discovery doesn't remove content from the tenant search index. and: Restricted Content Discovery is a site-level property. I completely understand that its intended use is to give organisations time to review and/or audit permissions and deploy access controls while onboarding Copilot in a safe manner. My focus is custom search solutions and custom apps that use search and should respect the RCD property. Being a property and the content remains in the index, it could be interpreted that RCD feature only works in the named services i.e. SharePoint Home, Office.com, Bing and Microsoft Copilot and it does not apply in Micrsoft Search, custom organisation-wide Search solutions e.g. using PnP-Search, API calls using the Graph etc. Is that the case? Also can the property be queried and retrieved using the Search API or is it limited to PowerShell?

Filtering Distribution Lists and Groups in O365 People
Hello, I am curious to know if there is any way to configure the viewing layout of O365 People. Ideally I would like to be able to filter lists/groups by an azure field associated to the list/group. Allowing any user to view lists and groups based on field filters. For example a user would be able to open O365 people and filter for all department distribution lists. Helping them to find the relevant list. I would like to know if this is possible? If not, are there any other options available for filtering lists? Cheers, Guy
Outlook search within .pdf attachments
Hello, Is it possible from Outlook to search informations that are within a .pdf attachment ? From my research, I found something called IFilter but I'm quite surprised that this doesn' t come as a native feature for outlook so I'm wondering if it is doable without any 3rd party plugin or whatever. Thanks for your help and your answers !
Indexing of MSG files with attachments in SharePoint
Hello, I have a question on indexing/searching in M365 SharePoint Online ... if I take an Outlook email message with attachments, and save it as a MSG file (which will have the embedded attachment), and then upload that MSG file to SharePoint Online, will the content of the attachment be indexed/searchable? I.e., should I be able to search in SharePoint for a term/value that is contained in the attachment and get the attachment (or at minimum the MSG file) back in my results? Currently it looks like this does not work out of the box, but should/can it work? Is there some additional indexing setup that can be enabled to support this? ThanksSharepoint search results issue
Hello, We have a strange issue with the SharePoint search. I have a number of folders which correspond with each of our customers. In these folders are a series of folders with data in there. For example, *Customers *Customer 1 * Invoices * Quotations * Customer 2 * Invoices * Quotations If I search 'customer 2' in the main search, the folder "customer 2" appears. What I want to do is click on this folder and this takes me straight into the folder in question showing me the full contents of the folder. However, it takes me to the folder but only shows data which matches the search result still. For example, it will show PDF's and word documents which contain 'customer 2' but doesn't show my the raw data in the folder which includes the Invoices and quotations folder. It is like it is still returning search results from my search (if that makes sense). Essentially, I want to be able to do something like right click>go to file location which you can do in explorer or stop SharePoint from searching my search results. Is there a way that this can be done? Many thanks, Luke
Listing ExternalItems to Delete Stale Items from Search Index
We are developing an MS365 search extension which, periodically populates `externalItem` records from records in an external system. Creating the new records works fine, but we are having a problem deleting records for items that no longer exist (or are no longer accessible to the integration). Our plan was to list the `externalItem`s from the Graph API, and delete any that we didn't find while running the sync. However, we can't get this to work, because the only way to list `externalItem`s is via the search API, but it is not possible to search for `externalItem`s using Application Permissions. The error we get is: "Application permission is only supported for the following entity types:site, list, listItem, drive and driveItem." Is there any other way for an application to list existing `externalItem`s from a given connection? What other strategies can we use to delete stale items from the index? Note that it is not possible for us to query the external system for the items that we cannot access.
