No Search Results for File Share Content Source

Question

Search Results are not showing in enterprise search center for file share content source, where as it is showing for other regular content sources. Please help me.

It crawled file share content source successfully but results are not appearing in the search results. Did I miss any configuration.

Hi,

I hope the crawler has appropriate permissions on the share.

Hi Ram,

As I understand, the file share content source does not display in the search result when crawling file share content source successfully.

In addition to Reema Bhingarde, you could check if the user has the permission to view the files on file shares in the search results. You could check the user permission on these files.

The article below is about planning to crawl different kinds of content.
