Manage result layouts for SharePoint results in Microsoft Search

Originally posted by Microsoft Jul 12, 2023 Uncategorized 0 Comments

We’re making changes to Microsoft Search. This update will allow Microsoft Search administrators to change result layouts for select SharePoint content using adaptive cards with Result Type feature in Microsoft Search administration.

The default result layouts for SharePoint sites, pages, list items and Portable document format (PDF) results can now be replaced with layouts built using adaptive cards. The changes can be made for Organization level search applicable to Office.com and SharePoint home.  

Changes for Microsoft Search in Bing and site level search on SharePoint sites will roll out soon.   

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 81952

When this will happen:

Standard Release: We will begin rolling out mid-July 2023 and expect to complete by August 2023 for the above-mentioned surfaces. Rollout for SharePoint sites and Microsoft Search in Bing will follow soon within a few weeks to months.

How this will affect your organization:

This feature does not change the current behavior on the Search page and requires Search administrations to make changes through administration portal.  

The capability can be accessed in the Search & intelligence admin center under the “Customizations” tab under “Result type” tab.

What you need to do to prepare:

Review Manage result types if you wish to modify search result layouts.

You might want to notify your users about this new capability and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
