MC233843 – We are expanding the reach of Microsoft Search in SharePoint; classic team sites that do not have customized search experience will be updated to the modern Microsoft Search experiences that deliver better personalization and relevance.
Key points
How this will affect your organization
When this feature is available, classic team sites that meet certain criteria will switch to using the Microsoft Search search box. As in modern sites, the search box will be at the top of the page in the suite navigation bar. Your users will receive a more consistent search experience, in addition to more personalized and relevant results.
This feature will not affect or disrupt any team sites with:
See a detailed description of which sites will automatically start using the Microsoft Search experience.
Prior to change, classic team site with no customizations.
After the change, same site, with Microsoft Search, where the search box has moved to the top of the page, like in modern sites.
What you need to do to prepare
If you have specific team sites that you want to retain the classic search experience, first see if they meet these criteria. If they do, run appropriate PowerShell scripts and set them to use Microsoft Search only on modern pages or on all pages.
You might want to notify your users about this new capability and update your training and documentation as appropriate.
