Can I change the local search settings on my SharePoint site? #M365AMA
In this episode, the #M365AMA panel discusses the following community question:
“Back in Classic SharePoint on my tenant, I was able to ask the search to look for a specific author, and it looks like in modern my search doesn’t allow that. I’m not the tenant admin. I’m wondering two things. Any chance I can change the local search settings on a specific site to enable to search for created by/modified by? Can I write a flow that checks every library in a site for a person who modified or created a document?”
