Get-MgSite -search "*"

At some point in the last month, we have lost the ability to use the following command:

get-mgsite -search "*"

This command would result in a listing of all the Sharepoint Online sites in my tenant. Now it returns nothing. In fact, most terms that I enter in the -search query field return nothing.

get-mgsitelist requires the siteid as a parameter and I am not sure how I can get the site ID if I cannot search for the site by name. For example:

$siteid = (Get-MgSite -Search "*" | where {$_.name -eq "<SiteName>"}).id

$listid = (Get-MgSiteList -SiteId $siteid| where {$_.name -eq "<listname>"}).id

How do you list all the sites in the tenant now?

I work around this issue by performing the following:

Get-MgSite -siteid "<domain>.sharepoint.com**:**/sites/<sitename>"

Thanks,

    Hi @Jesus Chao ,

    Thanks for reaching out!

    You can use below the API to get the site by searching the sitename,

    https://graph.microsoft.com/v1.0/sites?search="NameofSite"

    In PowerShell use the below command,

    Get-MgSite -Search "NameofSite"

    To get server-relative URL for a site resource, you can construct a request as GET /sites/{hostname}:/{server-relative-path}, refer access-a-site-by-server-relative-url

    Listing all the sites is supported only in application permissions, reference link: List Sites.

    Hope this helps.

    Hi @Jesus Chao , another workaround I can offer is to use SharePoint Online Management Shell, I don't know if it meets your needs.

    Since I found the same issue while testing locally, Get-MgSite didn't return anything, so I recommend opening a support ticket to communicate with the product group to confirm if there are any updates. Thank you very much for your understanding.
