Looking to see if Power Automate can help me create a searchable database

(0) ShareShare

Posted on by

Hello!

 

I am currently working on a project where I need to take many Word documents containing various entries (one entry is like one paragraph essentially) around customer calls and put them into a SharePoint site. The idea is that someone could search the entries for specific customers, products, etc. and use that information to help them when they are working with their customers. 

 

The problem I'm running into is that when you search in SharePoint it will return the files or pages that match but it won't take you to the specific text that matches the search (ex: search for "Google" and it will just return the page that word shows up on). Each document can have 30-40 entries so I'm worried it will make for a bad user experience. 

 

Is there something I can do with Power Automate to make this process easier? Ideally, it would be great if I could set something up that would just return the individual entries that are relevant but I am not an expert in Power Automate so I figured I'd ask here. 


Any help is much appreciated 🙂

    @ltanonis ,

    What you are referring to is called "Hit Highlighting"

    You can achieve this by creating a custom display template
