Recently I've done an exact search by title to the file name (with and without the extension) and it's not found. It finds other documents and information from the parent site. Often they are not a good match and may only contain a small part of the search term. For instance, if I look for "alphabet soup" or "alphabet soup.doc" which exists on the sub-site where I'm searching, it finds "soup to nuts" and "learning the alphabet" on the parent site and other sub-sites, but not the document that has an exact match in the title.

In the new Experience UI, the search box with the scopes selector, in the top right-hand corner, disappeared.

The new search box on the left hand side should provide, at least, the same UX.

Users get lost...

This idea is to create a SharePoint Online search connector to Azure Data Lake. This should be similar to the file share connector we have in hybrid search, but connect directly from the SharePoint Online search engine to Azure Data Lake. This will allow us to include files stored in Azure Data Lake in the enterprise search solution.

At the top of the SharePoint Home page (_layouts/15/sharepoint.aspx) is a search box. The items shown as a result of using that search box do not respect any configured Display Templates.

Currently, a user can only search the site if the user knows the name of the site or part of the name.
When a new site is created a lot of times users doesn't remember the name. Also, the site is not listed in the frequent or suggested sites.
I think, it would be useful if a list is displayed which contains all the sites that user has access to across the farm (not limiting to a particular site collection).

It would be great to have a column type for lists or libraries that stores a search-query.
In column settings you would create a query with a reference to the list-item (something like "author:{Item.Author} AND ContentType:Tasks").
This way you could dynamically link content to a list item.

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 WSS 3.0 (SharePoint 2007), when we searched a blog, it gave us the option to sort results by Relevance (the default) or by Modified Date. Now in SharePoint Online, when you search a blog, it gives you no sort options, but seems to list the search results in random order. This is a step backwards in my opinion. We need to be able to sort by Modified Date again.

If I enter the user's name or email address in the search box at the top left of the Delve page, the users will be searched.
Please add a feature that can set users not to be searchable.

Allow adding/removing a file type to the search index in SharePoint online

We are about to build a search-driven Intranet with Communication Sites. Today we found out that there is a limit to the items shown in a hcwp, but we need it to be able to show all results found. A user must be able to "scroll" oder "page" through all content found by a managed property filter used in the hcwp. A hard cap limit to the results shown will break a search driven intranet, when content found can´t be viewed by the user because of a "view limit".

When sharing content in SharePoint Online, the sharing interface allows a user to type the name of an Office 365 Group. SharePoint Online content that is shared in this manner will not appear in SharePoint Search results to the members of the Office 365 Group. This doesn't provide a consistent experience for users, as many users may not be aware what entries are Office 365 Groups, Azure Active Directory security groups, etc. We'd like to see content shared to the members of an Office 365 group in this manner appear in the search results for those users.

So we can show search refiners for filtering results based on library name.

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.

For manual download the OOTB SharePoint reports from SP admin page- SharePoint Online admin portal> Search> Search Reports.
Multiple reports available OOTB, but no API/Powershell available for Search Analytics, by which we can export custom Search reports or we can schedule the download of OOTB reports Monthly.

Provide API/Powershell for managing/automating SharePoint Search reports.

Enable some mechanism that allows a consumer to provide feedback on the results they get in search (e.g. not getting expected results or feedback tied directly to a specific content item). General feedback would be routed to one place while content item level feedback would be automatically routed to the assigned author.

Wanted to display items when certain field is not empty.
If possible please share us why it's not implemented?
