Copilot searching SharePoint inconsistent
I realize that using SharePoint search to search SharePoint works great, but noticed that many times I ask Copilot for information that I KNOW is in our SharePoint, the results are poor. As test, I searched for a simple last name of one of our team from SharePoint and got 80 or so results. When I asked Copilot to "give me a list of every file where xxxx is found", it came back with 6 results. Why the discrepancy and how do we go about making this more reliable?
Thank you for sharing the very poor integration with CoPilot and Sharepoint. I have struggled with this exact thing.
Might be possible;
1. Not all files might be indexed for search (issue with search indexing service)2. The search might be limited to certain libraries or sites within SharePoint. If the search scope is restricted, won’t see results from outside that scope.
