One of the lesser know features for SharePoint Online is the powerfulness to await at the crawl log. For on-premises SharePoint, scanning the crawl log is something whatsoever search troubleshooter knows how to do, too something I’ve frequently heard is an enquire for SharePoint Online.
A typical scenario is person bespeak why their file does non demo upwards inwards search, or why a user profile hasn’t been updated inwards search. The crawl log won’t solve these issues, only mightiness laissez passer you lot hints too insights for farther troubleshooting every bit you lot tin run across whatsoever warnings or errors, too run across at what fourth dimension the exceptional inwards enquiry was final crawled.
Over 2 years agone I created a SharePoint App which allows you lot to search the crawl log too trigger re-indexing (https://store.office.com/en-us/sharepoint-online-search-toolbox-by-puzzlepart-WA104380514.aspx), only I figured the fourth dimension was correct to portion this amongst the the world – thus the June loose of PnP PowerShell introduced the novel cmdlet Get-PnPSearchCrawlLog. But if you lot fancy a UI, the app is withal at that spot :)
Test it for yourself or accept a await at the demo I did yesterday at the PnP sig call.
