7 TopicsGuests in SharePoint search vs Microsoft Search
I wanted to confirm the visibility of guest accounts when using SharePoint search vs Microsoft Search. Microsoft search As per my testing the default search box that appears at top is using Microsoft search and the behaviour is "Guest accounts do not appear in search results". SharePoint search Custom search-based solutions such as 'PnP Search Webparts', can be built using REST APIs that target SharePoint search e.g. https://<tenant URL>/_api/search/query. In that case, guests are included in search results. Hence, in summary, guests are Excluded when doing people search using Microsoft Search whereas Included when using SharePoint search.,1.2KViews0likes1CommentPeople search not possible in top Search Bar
We have disabled the chat feature for most of the users in the company. And it's not possible for these users to look for other users in the search bar. But they can add users to their contacts as you can see here: (same search as above) For the other users with chat, Teams and all the other nice features the people lookup works perfectly. Is this a Bug or a Feature? And is it associated with the fact that the CHAT function is disabled?Solved1.7KViews0likes3CommentsSharePoint people search for guest users
We have developed a people directory using PnP Search Webparts that we want to make it accessible to our external users i.e. guests in Azure AD. We have given permissions to guests to App Catalog site. Guests can view our people search page, but they don't see any results. I looked on Google and found some references that guests are not allowed to search SharePoint people directory. Is there a way to enable that?2.3KViews0likes1CommentTeams shared channel and SharePoint people search
Can an external user accessing Teams shared channel SharePoint site view people search results? It does not appear to be working for us. We are trying to build a people search solution using PnP Search Web parts and host the search pages on shared channel site. Search is working well when accessed by the resource tenant user. However, when an external user browses to search tab in shared channel, page loads Ok, but search is returning errors. I tried the get search REST API ( <shared channel site url>/_api/search/query?) query directly in browser tab while in a shared channel browser session and query is returning 'An unknown error occurred.'.Solved1.4KViews0likes2CommentsSharePoint people search API, get a list of all departments

Hi all, I have SharePoint online and some domains configured. I would like when I share a folder/document from a SharePoint Site in people picker to see only the users form specific domain or not to see at all. EX: If I create a new SharePoint site to be visible only for domain contoso.com I want to show me in PeoplePicker only users with mailto:Email address removed Or you have another solution in order not to see users from different domain ? Or not to be seen at all. Thank you,1.7KViews0likes0CommentsSharePoint Employee Directory Links to Delve Not Working Correctly
Hello, One of my clients has a simple classic SharePoint online employee directory using SharePoint people search results. When you click on a user's name in the search results, it should take you to their delve profile. However, when I click on users that have not been opened in the browser before, the frame of the delve page loads, but the content for that user does not load - it only presents a white screen where the profile should be displayed. This is also the result for the OOTB SharePoint people search results page with no customization. What's really weird: when I refresh that same delve page, the profile loads perfectly - no change in URL - just a refresh. Then, if I were to open that same users from the search results page, the delve profile loads fine, which make me think there is some weird caching behavior going on behind the scenes. The link to the user's profile on the search result page is generated as: https://tenantname-my.sharepoint.com/Person.aspx?accountname=i%3A0%23%2Ef%7Cmembership%7Cjdoe%40companyemail%2Enet The above link then opens the delve profile link, automatically formatted as: https://nam.delve.office.com/?u=6dfce679-0101-4d32-9828-f40139d1fb15&v=work This is the exact same link format that the OOTB people search results page uses, and the result is exactly the same. I've had multiple users experience the same results across multiple browsers, and I have experienced the same behavior across multiple tenants. Does anyone know if there is a way to fix this, or is a bug? Thanks! JoeSolved6.9KViews2likes19Comments
