Search (location item)

  • The Search (location item) provides the ability to define a search query (KQL) to return one or more locations from across your SharePoint/Office 365 environment. Locations may include site collections, sites, libraries, lists, folders and document sets.
  • The SharePoint platform and configuration of Search within your environment will determine the richness and accuracy of your search results.
