Currently you can only add indexed properties on Site, Web, List or Folder level - I suggest you to add the same on ListItem level.

Reason:
If you want to enrich items with additional metadata you have to use list columns or content enrichment (not available with SPO or with hybrid cloud search service).

Another option would be to add "normal" columns to the items (and maybe hide them from editview) and rely on the normal indexing - for a large scenario this is simply not possible.

Indexing of the propertybag would greatly simplify this.

Search driven applications would be much more powerfull if it is possible to use (properties of) search results to run a new query.

Exampel:
- I have a list where all my favorit project rooms are listed
- I want to offer a search only within my favorit Project site (collections)

To do so, the search query needs to pick up my favorit projects from the list and then run a query only against those project sites.

This would allow a lot of "zero-code" search applications within the o365 Standard.

I have a SharePoint server 2019 (on-premises) Communication site (Modern UI). I have set anonymous access. Anonymous users can view all pages. when I search it does not redirect to the search page. On the other hand, I just have to check the results in a classic search. And the results show up for anonymous users. Please allow anonymous users to show search results.

If I use the search at the top of the page the menu ribbon changes for the list as it leaves the page the list is on to display the search results.

This makes the search useless for users as they can't access some of the features they require like Flow.

How can I make the search stay on the same view and keep the ribbon menu working?

I think List Search needs to be revived on all Modern lists & libraries as it is in Classic!

We have a product list. In SP2016 the user could enter a product code into the small search bar and those products would be displayed as a search result on the page. Now, we can’t see the search bar for the list on a modern page. The web part didn’t show the list results. Can we have this search bar added back please as it’s much easier for user experience to find items

When users search in Sharepoint they have to type in the full word or use an asterisk (*) as a wildcard to search. This is NOT intuitive and this should be fixed so that all searches are "contains" searches. Any model search tool uses this method. Google does. Bing Does. Windows Search does.

Right now you find the file, then you have to manually browse to the file location and hope that there arent a lot of files in the folder where the file resides. There should be a function similar to browse do location.

■Title(件名)：
AIP にて暗号化されたファイルの検索について
Searching for files encrypted with AIP

■Description(内容):
AIP にて暗号化されたファイルを検索した際に、検索結果に表示されるようパフォーマンスの向上を希望します。

Please improve performance by having files encrypted with AIP appear in search results.

The current SPO advanced search is nothing more than a regular search.

It should include:
- fuzzy search
- extended wildcard support (regex-like)
- proximity search
- typo corrections
- document type search (XLSX, ...)
- case sensitivity options
- author search or filtering ...

Thanks !

SP search does not have hit highlight like in Delve search (or on this page :) ) For content in libraries and lists in particular it would be nice to at least see number of hits somehow in results returned. But in Organization results it would certainly be valuable.

I'dd like the possibility to configure modern search to not show OneDrive results. Best option, in my opinion, is to manage this on three levels: Site, Hub and Tenant wide.

Reason: a lot of my users are afraid their personal files are shared with the organation.

Another good option would be: show the OneDrive results in a visually different box or segment... In the current implementation, it's hard to see the source of the files is OneDrive.

"We would like the ability to search for files within zipped folders in SharePoint Online."

The SP2019 on premises Lotus Notes connector references the Lotus C++ API Toolkit which is out of support with HCL (Lotus Notes owner). Please update the Lotus Notes Connector to use the C API and be compatible with versions later than R8 client (which is also outdated). There is significant business use with later versions.

Search doesn't work (anymore) when searching for items with a single quote.

For example, create a simple generic list. Add an item with It's working in its title.

After the data is crawled try to search for

"It's working"

(double quotes are part of the query, to search exactly for this string).

There's no known escaping syntax.

Such characters should be searchable.
Thanks

By default, when you set a site to be a home site, the search scope of the site is set to tenant wide. We don't want that, we want it to be Hub wide. If we run the PnP PowerShell to set the SearchScope back to "2" for Hub, then it gets ignored and the search scope remains as Tenant! Please let us change the search scope of a Home site. Thanks

When we view modern search results, if we have created folders in Document Libraries to organise the documents, then these folders appear in the search results and normally first. The users do not need to see the folders, they are only used for site owners to organise the documents, so we want the option of being able to hide document library folders from the search results

When we view results in modern search, the results for Site Pages do not show the thumbnail image. The results show this image for News Posts, Office documents and PDFs, but not Site Pages. I presume this is a bug?!?

It seems that the People webpart already does a simple directory in Edit mode. It would be nice to have a simple employee/company directory that can be added to a modern page.
