Hi everyone,
First question: We are finding that specific items are not appearing in our Sharepoint lists when we search for them.
In one example, a "People" list containing name and contact info will display the item when we place a filter on the Last Name column. If we search the specific "People" list, it does not appear. If we search the entire Sharepoint site, that particular item in that particular list does not appear.
My colleagues tell me that this has been discovered within another list, called "Organizations" which capture organizations and their contact info, but they couldn't provide me the exact details of that item (just a memory that there was an issue).
I have checked that the lists in question are set to allow "Any user who can read items" see draft items in these lists. So even if they were unpublished drafts, they should still be visible in searches.
What could be causing this behavior? Have others encountered this? I am concerned that there are other items that are "hiding" in this way and we currently have no way to find them, possibly resulting in duplicate entries and other problems.
Second question: Is there some way to view items which are marked as draft? A delimiting search, or a place within Sharepoint which will display just draft items?
Thank you in advance for any insights!
