Microsoft OneDrive: Find files faster with the improved search experience in OneDrive for the web [MC875179]

Coming soon for Microsoft OneDrive for the web: Improved search experience for finding files stored in your OneDrive, shared folders, and document libraries.

This message is associated with Microsoft 365 Roadmap ID 395379.

[When this will happen:]

General Availability (Worldwide): We will begin rolling out late September 2024 and expect to complete by late October 2024.

[How this will affect your organization:]

Before this rollout: Users are not able to easily filter by date or file types and cannot easily identify location of files with similar names.

After this rollout: Users can filter search results by file types, date modified and easily switch between My files, All files, Current folder and Current document library. This feature is on by default.

New search results page with file type filters, date filters, and a clickable Location column that searches all locations (personal OneDrive, shared folders, and document libraries):

Use the Date filter to filter search results based on when files were modified. In this example, the results are filtered to Today:

[What you need to do to prepare:]

This rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required. You may want to notify your users about this change and update any relevant documentation as appropriate.

Before rollout, we will update this post with revised documentation.
