If you deploy a SPFx application extension to a site for a header/footer, this shows on most pages, but not on the search page.

Would be nice if custom headers/footers showed on the site search page as well.

External Users can not search for Documents and Pages - only Images and Lists/Libraries - on shared Sites.
Please Add Pages and Documents to their Search Results as well.

When searching for files and the result is an image, it doesn't open the .jpg files when clicking on them.
It does open .png and .jpeg files as images, but not .jpg (this is the default extension for jpeg images).
It makes our work more difficult, sice we already have many images with the .jpg extension and we just found out that the search is useless.

In SharePoint O365, the search engine 's Performance is not always satisfactory,especially in Chinese. Sometimes, the search result does not match the search criteria. This issue was analyzed by MS SPO Support team and the root cause should be the incompleted word-breaking.

User expected a better search engine in Chinese Search so that the expected result could be find out directly.

As an alternative, user also expected that the customising feature for word-breaking dictionary could be offerred in SPO.

We have SharePoint Online and would like to measure our search using some statistics. Can you guys introduce some statistics which can be used to measure search performamce in particular site collection. The usage reports and popularity trends are indeed good for item level but if we want to measure for entire site then there we don't have anything. It would be really helpful if you guys can introduce a site level search health report or a report that would guide us in right direction for having a search with much more hits and relevant data

Our organization has numerous Excel files that are larger than the 3 Mb. search index boundary. It would be ideal to increase the boundary to match that of other office files, or make it settable to higher values.

This would allow for more accurate key word searches of Excel files.

SharePoint Multi-line Append only comments column incorrect date format. Site settings :- Regional setting already set to English (Australia). Date column displays in d/mm/yyyy while appending comments displays date in m/d/yyyy format.

Enhance Search results. Display a count of hits for each search term (word) in the results. This would be invaluable for scientific and medical documents. Allow this feature to be enabled/disabled by the user.

Please display the number of search results retrieved in modern search. If you can display a count of pages, it is apparent that the total count is known (even if it is estimated). This would be helpful for people to determine if they would want to paginate and look for the desired result.

Unable to search by contents entered in Description property of the web part added to a page.

If you want to search by contents, you need to use a query such as “description: xxxxx”, so we would like to search without queries.

Sitename should be shown , because it confuses the user

This idea is to enable SharePoint search to perform optical character recognition of images (incl. scanned PDF documents) when they are crawled by the SharePoint hybrid crawler. This will make it possible to search for text inside images (and scanned PDF documents) and find these documents more easily. Today, it is not possible to search for text inside such images or documents.

For the Communication 'modern' Site there should be a WebPart that links to Azure Active Directory so users can do an employee search from the homepage of the organization's SharePoint Intranet site. Apparently this only works for the classic site and has not been implemented in the modern Communication Site.

Before on On-Premise SharePoint, a search option criteria has an option to Export To Excel in the library. Hopefully this can be added in SharePoint Online.

Thank you

Please provide a way to gather analytics for the Modern Search. We are using Communication templates for our Intranet and need know what users are searching for.

An equivalent to what is available from the SharePoint Admin Center > Search > View Usage Reports.

Search on mobile browser on iphone - search box does not fit the screen - as you type results show in a teeny tiny strip and you have to side scroll to see the show all - If you type your query and hit done on the keyboard, search closes - does not produce list of results. When you search within a filtered document library as you are typing, results load on top of your search term so you no longer can see what you are typing.

Not everyone wants to load an app on their phone.

Thank you!

In modern search result page, you can only filter by "last modified time" or "file type".
It will be nice to more automatic filters/refiners like in classic mode. It will be also helpful if you can create custom filters.
