A question to the community with the hope that what I find difficult you find easy. In the URI mentioned in this contribution I am retrieving (trying to) a number of properties, some standard, some created myself. Yet the returned values only contain "null", e.g. "Key": "Category", "Value": null, "ValueType": "Null" As far as I can see values in "Site Collection Administration - Managed Properties" are the same for items showing values and items showing "null" even if input is present. Any idea what I am missing?
There are some pre created managed properties that you can use to map to your crawled properties of columns. Try using those. I have not experienced the null issue, hence not sure what’s the cause or fix for it.
@@RezaDorrani that exactly did the trick. To share with the community, I went into 'Site Collection Administration - Managed Properties' and searched for 'RefinableString' as I wanted to bring up custom text fields. Chose the first, then scrolled down to add a mapping. To get the property wanted searched for the custom field which in the search result shows with 'ows' prefix. Added more as required in same fashion. Then went to 'Search and Offline Availability' and rebuilt the index. Be patient there. Then edited the URI using the 'RefinableString' names.
Finally documents long hidden somewhere come to light again, thanks so much Reza! Maybe you could return to the search topic again at some point to expand the search that it embraces all content of a SharePoint site beyond libraries, but also regular lists? And then given this enlarges the search result to have options to filter these down as required, e.g. filter to specific sites or where certain meta data such as categories are met? Reza, you are providing such incredible support, thank you!
If you're having trouble with parseJSON after following this tutorial, Power automate is now changing the manual formula to a dynamic tag after the first execution, which doesn't output escaped double quotes in the response. I solved it in my case by adding a string() function applied on the body(etc)
Do you mind ellaborating a little bit more how you solved the issue? Currently, my searchResults its showing [' '], if I check my raw data shows Rows: 0, so its not generating the table. Is this the same situation?
@@juancarlosvallecillo4533 I don't think it's the same issue as I was getting search results from SPO API but was unable to then export them to a flow, if the search results are empty it's probably something to do with the query
Thank you so much for your update. I tried the steps multiple times, and I am getting the same result following Rezza's excellent video. for search results it shows [] left and right bracket. Can you please share an example of how you added a string function(). Thanks so much.
I believe fully empty strings mean the search API did not find any results. In my case I was getting a parseJSON error inside Power Apps. The string() function was added on the Power Automate side, instead of using the dynamic tags, write a custom formula and wrap the formula in the instructions in a "string(*body etc*)"
Thank you very much for the video Reza ! Amazing function for sharepoint database users, will test it out ! especially the in search content capacity from a image in a standard licence from wich did not know it was possible and the possibility was always there 👏👏
Thanks a lot Reza for this video ! As you've just shown, using the SharePoint API is a really effective way of integrating data from SharePoint into Power Apps. Of course, you have to use it according to your needs, but honestly, you should use it in real scenarios, ahah. Too good. Thank again you for sharing all this content, because it's thanks to you that I'm increasing my skills and improving my vision of the Power Platform. 🙏
Thank you Reza. I have not had a use case around this yet but it is definitely a good knowledge to have and i might find ways to apply it in my present place of work
Thanks Reza, again another great video. One question, how possible to check If pdf file content has been modified or not. I know I can do that by calling file modified trigger but I need to trigger the action only if file content changed not other Metadata. Wondering if graph api has solution. Thanks again
I believe if content is changed it should trigger, but not sure. Never come across this scenario though. I would recommend posting your query on forums powerusers.microsoft.com

Hi Reza. I have implemented this search function across my company. Works a treat. Thanks. We have multi country SP environments. Some of the SP sites are common, some aren't. Can you think of a way that the user will be able to select and limit the results to a selectable dropdown selection? The flow can still search in all environments, but just limit the displayed results. Thanks
Most welcome! I believe there was a path property to filter or target specific sites. You could dynamically phrase that based on dropdown selection. I have not tried it and hence giving an idea.
Hey Reza, great video! Is there anyway to sort the search results in the gallery? For example if I want to sort by column. Trying to recreate the “bookmarks” experience from SP Search. haven’t been able to get it to work with the api search results. So I’m trying to figure out if I can just sort the gallery of results by a column once the results arrive in PowerApps. Thanks
perfect video, Reza your are the best. I recreated the demo concept for my library. My library contains some self-created metadata. Unfortunately, this metadata is not displayed in the output of the flow. How can I ensure that this metadata is also displayed?
Check my video playlist on graph api. I have done 3-4 videos on this topic. Search is dependent on managed properties. Check documentation on managed properties for SharePoint.
Awesome tutorial! I do have one question. I started getting "refresh token expirations" on the send an http request for some users. Do you need to add a specific connection into PowerApps to make sure the http request is using a user's updated connection?
This was super helpful! It's there any way to add filters to the gallery as well? I can't figure out how to access the fields brought across within search results to compare with field names for use with check boxes against metadata fields, for example.
The search api supports filter actions as well. Check the documentation for search api linked in video. You would need to pass the filter conditions as params to flow and use that to frame the search api call. I would have to try it out to provide any further guidance. I recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Thank you for this Reza, its a very great tool and its working on our SharePoint pages perfectly. Just a question on functionality, is there a way to have it also work with partial/substring searches, please?
Thanks Reza for the amazing video! Quick question, how can you create a dropdown box that would dynamically populate from the search results, allowing you to further filter the results by something like FileExtension? I have been tying for a couple days but can't seem to figure it out.
I would have to try it out to know the steps. Why not simply hardcode a dropdown of file extensions and send that as param to flow and use it for filtering.
@@RezaDorrani I have tried hard coding the file extension in the dropdown as well, but I must got be getting the formula incorrect for the filter. This is what I currently have, in an attempt to produce a result. Filter(Table(ParseJSON(varSearchResults.searchresults)), ThisRecord.Value.Key.FileExtension="doc")
I cannot debug the issue without trying it out myself. I would recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/
Hi Reza 👏 great video, is their a limit to display items in a gallery as I have my result showing large number or should just create a new document library to search on
Great video Rezza, i got it to work, is there a way to get additional sharepoint tags from the document library (other than from document itself),, i have extra columns on the document library that i would like to get the data to updated another list. Thank you in advance
Key is managed properties for searching. If you use content types then it automatically creates crawled properties and then you can create managed properties and fetch them in searching. Il recommend reading about managed properties in SharePoint search.
Hi Reza and thanks for this great tutorial that helped me achieve exactly what I was looking for. I am wondering if it is possible to modify the query so that each document in the sharepoint is associated to a number of occurrences for the search word. Thank you in advance for your help.
Very good and informative video. Thanks for it. Can we use search api if we need to find specific text from pages library on pages and webparts within those pages?
Hello Reza, what do you think I can do when the Power Automate flow result does return the file properties that should be populated in the gallery. I only get the file name, others like size, thumbnail, path, file type etc. are not returned by the flow. Do you think it is my SharePoint settings? Thanks.
Thank you, Reza. How is this search method impacted by delegation? (You pointed out that it is a 'non-premium' way of searching, so I'm hoping it can also search 22,000 or 360,000 docs for search text - that would be almost too amazing!) 😊MUCH APPRECIATED.
Amazing Video as per usual Reza. I cant see or seem to add the extracted text column is this something that needs to be configured beforehand? I'm in the UK, so it might not be a feature here.
Thank you for the video! One thing to ask: Is this applicable on Dataverse table? If not is there any similar function that can be use when the database contains a lot of records? Thank you!
Reza, great video once again! How do you get the little images (eyes next to Views, folder next to Shared Documents, etc). Are those simple image controls, or some other trickery? :D
Thank you Reza. There are multiple requests on this and thanks for this video. I can see we can pass single query text or multiple parameters on this? Can we pass dynamic metadata on this? I'm looking on building up a Unified Search which can work on dynamic metadata from different content types? This way, search will be more centralized and I can use this search for any content types or document libraries.
Thank you very much for this demo !! I tried to implement this solution following your instructions. I have a document library with many documents, but no matter what I try to search for, I only get results from one specific document... any clues of what can be wrong? Thank you
I have not faced this issue hence not sure what the reason for your issue could be. I recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com
@@RezaDorrani, If I remove the * after the document library name from the Uri , it searches in more documents, but not in all. With the * it only searches on one document...

Hello! This is working very well! My question is what are you putting in to call the PictureThumbnailURL property? I have it included correctly in my search query in PowerAutomate.

Hi, thank you for the tutorial. I have a question where let’s say I have 3 files in doc library with item level permissions and person 1 see 1st file, person 2 see 2nd file and person 3 see 3rd file but if power automate flow is running under my connection so will everyone see their own file or my file?
Hi Reza Thanks a lot for this video. As always, I get solutions through your videos. I tried to do a keyword search in a Sharepoint library by following the video, but for some reason, I am getting empty rows under the table. Not sure what may be the issue. Have checked everything thrice but still getting same. Any suggestions?
Really cool video, this search funciton is amazing! Is it somehow possible to show all the found results in the gallery? At default it only shows the first 10 findings..
@@RezaDorrani I would like to link the found results directly to the respective document e.g. by clicking the "ChevronRightIcon" how can I do that? Thank you in advance!
@@RezaDorrani right. I’m just thinking since the goal is searching, if you just use that column, you can just use the “search” function for the gallery.
Hi Reza, have you thought about doing a quick lesson on how to add a new user to a Sharepoint list and giving them permissions via Powerautomate and/or Powerapps? A good example would be the Onboarding or Offboarding of an employee who needs permissions to certain sharepoint sites and/or lists.

Hello, how are you? I have a question: is there a way to focus the search on two columns contained in the library and not search within the content of the documents? Also, while running your example, I noticed it only returns 10 results out of 29 (in one example). Is there a way to increase the RowLimit?
1 - search works both on content and metadata. There are ways to even target specific columns in search query. 2 - search api has details on rowlimits and pagination
Fantastic video as always. I've combined two separate searches from two separates sites into one result sent back to Power Apps. While I can get each separate search result to sort by Rank, append them together with some substring manipulation, and send to Power Apps I can't seems to identify how to re-sort the total results, the combination of two sources, by Rank once both search results are combined into a mega-result. The intent is; a universal search across multiple locations in multiple sites. Without a resorting of Rank in totality it isn't very useful. Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks. Looks like you have expanded on the video which is great. I would have to try out your scenario, recreate it to provide guidance and I have no plans to do so as I have moved onto multiple new videos.

@Reza, amazing video! I can't wait to see my app deliver the same result. However, I'm stuck with Sharepoint Search API, 11:00 of your video. When the Uri specifies a document library, it returns an empty table. When I remove the path, Uri equals /_api/search/query?querytext=%27SearchText%27, it returns search results from all the Sharepoint groups that I have access to.

I have in the entire SPO 2 columns that I defined to be applicable to all Document libraries. How I can get the info from them and show it in the gallery?

Great video Reza!
We can achieve SharePoint global search functionality with these APIs
Yes we can
Great solution 👍, thank you so much for this video. Very much appreciated 😊
You're most welcome!
GOAT! Thank you for another incredible tutorial!

Hi Reza. I have implemented this search function across my company. Works a treat. Thanks.
We have multi country SP environments. Some of the SP sites are common, some aren't. Can you think of a way that the user will be able to select and limit the results to a selectable dropdown selection? The flow can still search in all environments, but just limit the displayed results. Thanks
Most welcome!
I believe there was a path property to filter or target specific sites. You could dynamically phrase that based on dropdown selection. I have not tried it and hence giving an idea.
@@RezaDorrani Thanks. I'll see if I can work it out.
Hey Reza, great video! Is there anyway to sort the search results in the gallery? For example if I want to sort by column.
Trying to recreate the “bookmarks” experience from SP Search. haven’t been able to get it to work with the api search results. So I’m trying to figure out if I can just sort the gallery of results by a column once the results arrive in PowerApps.
Thanks
Check rest api documentation linked in video. There is a sort option as well.
perfect video, Reza your are the best.
I recreated the demo concept for my library. My library contains some self-created metadata. Unfortunately, this metadata is not displayed in the output of the flow. How can I ensure that this metadata is also displayed?
Check my video playlist on graph api. I have done 3-4 videos on this topic. Search is dependent on managed properties. Check documentation on managed properties for SharePoint.
Awesome tutorial! I do have one question. I started getting "refresh token expirations" on the send an http request for some users.
Do you need to add a specific connection into PowerApps to make sure the http request is using a user's updated connection?
Thanks!
I have not experienced the mentioned issue and hence not sure what is the cause for it.
This was super helpful! It's there any way to add filters to the gallery as well? I can't figure out how to access the fields brought across within search results to compare with field names for use with check boxes against metadata fields, for example.
The search api supports filter actions as well. Check the documentation for search api linked in video. You would need to pass the filter conditions as params to flow and use that to frame the search api call. I would have to try it out to provide any further guidance. I recommend checking on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/ in case someone has done something similar.
Thanks so much, I'll give that a shot!
Thank you for this Reza, its a very great tool and its working on our SharePoint pages perfectly.
Just a question on functionality, is there a way to have it also work with partial/substring searches, please?
Most welcome!
I have not explored option of substring searches to know if that is possible.
Great video. Thanks for sharing
Thanks for watching!
Brillant content, as always !
Much appreciated!
Love your content! Question: any advantage to searching document libraries via this method (REST + Power Automate) vs. Graph?
License :)
@@RezaDorrani ah, of course, the ever-important licensing consideration 😅. Thanks for the response!
As always excellent. Thank you.
Most welcome
Thanks Reza for the amazing video! Quick question, how can you create a dropdown box that would dynamically populate from the search results, allowing you to further filter the results by something like FileExtension? I have been tying for a couple days but can't seem to figure it out.
I would have to try it out to know the steps. Why not simply hardcode a dropdown of file extensions and send that as param to flow and use it for filtering.
@@RezaDorrani I have tried hard coding the file extension in the dropdown as well, but I must got be getting the formula incorrect for the filter. This is what I currently have, in an attempt to produce a result.
Filter(Table(ParseJSON(varSearchResults.searchresults)), ThisRecord.Value.Key.FileExtension="doc")
I cannot debug the issue without trying it out myself. I would recommend posting your issue with screenshots on the forums at powerusers.microsoft.com/

Brilliant Guide, but a question. can you get the document to display in a pdf viewer (as shown in your other video) or does it have to be launched?
I believe it would have to be launched. In other video we get a lot more info like blob which I don’t think we can get from search.
@@RezaDorrani thank you for your quick response. I will have to leave it as a launched document instead of displaying in my viewers.

Great video Rezza, i got it to work, is there a way to get additional sharepoint tags from the document library (other than from document itself),, i have extra columns on the document library that i would like to get the data to updated another list. Thank you in advance
Key is managed properties for searching. If you use content types then it automatically creates crawled properties and then you can create managed properties and fetch them in searching. Il recommend reading about managed properties in SharePoint search.
Hi Reza and thanks for this great tutorial that helped me achieve exactly what I was looking for. I am wondering if it is possible to modify the query so that each document in the sharepoint is associated to a number of occurrences for the search word. Thank you in advance for your help.
I am not aware of an option to do that.
Very good and informative video. Thanks for it. Can we use search api if we need to find specific text from pages library on pages and webparts within those pages?
Yes, it should work for pages as well. Im not sure about text within web parts.
Thank you very much Reza for this video.
Most welcome
Hello Reza, what do you think I can do when the Power Automate flow result does return the file properties that should be populated in the gallery. I only get the file name, others like size, thumbnail, path, file type etc. are not returned by the flow. Do you think it is my SharePoint settings? Thanks.
@@tunjivictor9279 Read about managed properties in SharePoint search.
Thank you, Reza. How is this search method impacted by delegation? (You pointed out that it is a 'non-premium' way of searching, so I'm hoping it can also search 22,000 or 360,000 docs for search text - that would be almost too amazing!) 😊MUCH APPRECIATED.
There is no delegation challenge here as it uses the SharePoint Search API.
Amazing Video as per usual Reza. I cant see or seem to add the extracted text column is this something that needs to be configured beforehand? I'm in the UK, so it might not be a feature here.
I have no idea if its a region centric feature. I simply noticed it while preparing for the video demo.
Mind blowing. Thank you!
Most welcome
Wow, thanks!
Thank you for the video! One thing to ask: Is this applicable on Dataverse table? If not is there any similar function that can be use when the database contains a lot of records? Thank you!
Welcome!
Dataverse has search apis. But I’m not sure if it can search data within documents.
Reza, great video once again! How do you get the little images (eyes next to Views, folder next to Shared Documents, etc). Are those simple image controls, or some other trickery? :D
Those are emojis.
Use Windows+. to launch the emoji keyboard.
@@RezaDorrani I knew it had to be something simple. What a game changer. Thank you!
Thank you Reza. There are multiple requests on this and thanks for this video.
I can see we can pass single query text or multiple parameters on this? Can we pass dynamic metadata on this? I'm looking on building up a Unified Search which can work on dynamic metadata from different content types? This way, search will be more centralized and I can use this search for any content types or document libraries.
Possible. You can include searchtext as example: ContentType:X and add additional filters. Check documentation linked in video description.
Thank you very much for this demo !!
I tried to implement this solution following your instructions. I have a document library with many documents, but no matter what I try to search for, I only get results from one specific document... any clues of what can be wrong?

Question, how did you add the Extracted text column to the sharepoint list?
Extracted Text column was added by SharePoint itself. I did not do anything to add it.

@@Maynardjones100 Im not sure what I did to get it.
Hi, thank you for the tutorial.
I have a question where let’s say I have 3 files in doc library with item level permissions and person 1 see 1st file, person 2 see 2nd file and person 3 see 3rd file but if power automate flow is running under my connection so will everyone see their own file or my file?
Flow called from power apps runs under context of user running the App and hence security will be respected.
Nice, thank you. Quick question, I see you added content class:STS_ListItem_DocumentLibrary. Is that valid for all OnLine Libraries?
Yes it is.

Give it a try. It should be. This video is related to searching and hence I used the search API.
@@RezaDorrani right. I’m just thinking since the goal is searching, if you just use that column, you can just use the “search” function for the gallery.
@@unetseulement Search is not a delegable function. It would work for lists under 2000 items but not beyond.
@@RezaDorrani ahh right.
Hi Reza, have you thought about doing a quick lesson on how to add a new user to a Sharepoint list and giving them permissions via Powerautomate and/or Powerapps? A good example would be the Onboarding or Offboarding of an employee who needs permissions to certain sharepoint sites and/or lists.

Hello, how are you? I have a question: is there a way to focus the search on two columns contained in the library and not search within the content of the documents? Also, while running your example, I noticed it only returns 10 results out of 29 (in one example). Is there a way to increase the RowLimit?
1 - search works both on content and metadata. There are ways to even target specific columns in search query.
2 - search api has details on rowlimits and pagination
Fantastic video as always. I've combined two separate searches from two separates sites into one result sent back to Power Apps. While I can get each separate search result to sort by Rank, append them together with some substring manipulation, and send to Power Apps I can't seems to identify how to re-sort the total results, the combination of two sources, by Rank once both search results are combined into a mega-result. The intent is; a universal search across multiple locations in multiple sites. Without a resorting of Rank in totality it isn't very useful. Any assistance is appreciated.
Thanks. Looks like you have expanded on the video which is great.
