Resolving Search Functionality Issues in External User Manager (EUM) Documentation

Introduction

Users of the External User Manager (EUM) may encounter a situation where search results are displayed, but selecting a result does not navigate to the corresponding page in the documentation. This article provides a resolution to ensure the EUM's search functionality works correctly within both the Teams Desktop Client and the Web App.

Problem Statement

When using the search feature within the EUM documentation, results appear as expected. However, clicking on these results does not lead to the relevant documentation page. This issue affects users across different platforms, hindering access to necessary information.

Step-by-Step Solution

If you're facing difficulties with the search functionality in EUM documentation, follow these steps to troubleshoot and resolve the problem:

  1. Confirm the Issue:

    • Verify that clicking on search results does not open the respective documentation pages on both the Teams Desktop Client and the Web App.
  2. Check for Updates:

    • Ensure that your version of EUM is up to date, as updates may contain fixes for known issues, including documentation navigation problems.
  3. Report the Issue:

    • If the problem persists, report it to the support team with specific details, such as the search terms used and the expected documentation page.
  4. Temporary Workaround:

    • While waiting for a fix, use the table of contents or the index within the documentation as alternative methods to find the information you need.
