I am wondering if anybody is aware how o365 groups and SharePoint search are related.

I have created an o365 Group site and added a custom content type, site column and content.

I have associated the new content with my custom content type and have added content to the custom site column.

If I go to the search in the top left hand corner I can return result by search on the custom column as expected.

When I go to the search center for the entire tenant https://tenant.sharepoint.com/search and try and find the same content from this group site it does not return content.

Also, if I go to the SharePoint admin center and the search settings I cannot see this column show up in the crawled properties.

Is the expected behavior for groups sites? Or am I missing something about search and crawling content within group sites?

Any insight would be greatly appreciated.

Per my test in my SharePoint online, the content from group site can be searched in the search center for the entire tenant https://tenant.sharepoint.com/search.

In SharePoint online, full crawl is performed automatically. So, we will wait for full crawl.

You could wait for a period of time, then check if the content from group site can be searched in the search center.

  • You are right. This seems to be a inconsistent issue across our tenants. The tenant we use for "development and testing" we have this issue. on our "Production" tenant everything works as expected. I have raised a support ticket with premier support. Thanks.
