Question

Is there a way to search information like text or shape data in a Visio-drawing published on a SharePoint-site like you could do when saved as html?

Hi,

As far as I know, we can search the text from html file on a SharePoint-site. Please see the below article:

https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj219530.aspx

Then, this issue is more related to the SharePoint search, I recommend you post the question to SharePoint search forum:

https://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/home?forum=sharepointsearch

The reason why we recommend posting appropriately is you will get the most qualified pool of respondents, and other partners who read the forums regularly can either share their knowledge or learn from your interaction with us. Thank you for your understanding.

It's recommended to download and install Configuration Analyzer Tool (OffCAT), which is developed by Microsoft Support teams. Once the tool is installed, you can run it at any time to scan for hundreds of known issues in Office programs.

Yes, but you need to use some JavaScript to interrogate the Visio page. See http://blog.bvisual.net/2014/10/09/using-javascript-to-find-and-highlight-visio-shapes-by-shape-data-values-in-sharepoint-content-editor/
