Hi! I am trying to index the content of a sharepoint folder (not all the sharepoint library), I am using this documentation as guide: https://learn.microsoft.com/en-us/azure/search/search-howto-index-sharepoint-online . Is folder filtering still not avaible? or does exist any work around to do it?

Thanks in advance.

    Hi @Nicolás Camilo Olivares Álvarez

    Thank you for posting your question on the Microsoft Q&A forum. 

    It looks like you are trying to index only the contents of a specific folder within a SharePoint Online document library using Azure AI Search, and you are looking if folder-level filtering is supported or if there's any workaround available. 

    Currently, Azure AI Search can index content at the document library level in SharePoint Online, but it doesn’t support filtering to a specific folder directly. This is mentioned in the official documentation. 

    As a workaround, you can try using an Azure Function or Logic App to pull content only from the folder you want and then push it to the search index. 

    Microsoft often updates its features, so it’s a good idea to check the documentation from time to time for any changes. 

    Feel free to post back if you have more questions or need help with the workaround.
