Some users got empty result using MS Graph Search api

Jérôme Besson 6

Dear friends,

I have got a very strange behavior with the Microsoft Graph Search api.
With some users, when I use Graph Explorer and I test the search "search sites" exemple, this return nothing and for other users it works perfectly.

Of course, I have already checked the authorizations on the SharePoint sites.
In fact, it doesn't work even for the global administrator of my tenant.

I am totally confused, so if someone has an idea, it could be very helpful.
Thanks by advance.

Hello,

There is the post api :
https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/search/query

with the request body :
{
"requests": [
{
"entityTypes": [
"site"
],
"query": {
"queryString": "*"
}
}
]
}

And the response is :
{
"@odata.context": "https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/$metadata#Collection(microsoft.graph.searchResponse)",
"value": [
{
"searchTerms": [],
"hitsContainers": [
{
"total": 0,
"moreResultsAvailable": false
}
]
}

I am global admin of the tenant with full access on all the content.
Regards,
Jérôme

I had the same problem. I solved it by going to the affected User in Azure AD and clicking on Revoke session. I had the affected users restart their machine at the end of the day and it worked the next morning
