262747-image.pngOn this page Manual-Only.aspx, I have a entered the keyword mmm2022, but when I try to search for mmm2022 from the SharePoint site where the page resides:
https://{my tenant}.sharepoint.com/sites/sharepointteamsitesample/_layouts/15/search.aspx/siteall?q=mmm2022

I get:
We couldn't find any results on this site for mmm2022
Search the whole organization for mmm2022

Searching the whole organization also does not help.

Waiting a few hours after turn on Enterprise Metadata and Keywords Settings> Add an Enterprise Keywords column to this list and enable Keyword synchronization
and setting the keyword also did not help.

    Hi @Nik Edmiidz (personal) ,

    • If you are adding to use a newly created Enterprise Keyword, it may take some time for the keyword to be searchable. Please allow for up to 24 hours and search it again.
    • If your Enterprise Keyword column is a multiline text column then it will be an unsupported column type. Currently, multiple lines text field cannot be indexed.
      For how to create a searchable multi-line text field, please refer to: Can't search on Enterprise Keywords in document library
    • If neither of the above applies to your situation, you need to create a managed property.
      Reference: SEARCH FOR DOCUMENTS TAGGED WITH ENTERPRISE KEYWORDS
