Microsoft Purview | Audit: Enable audit log search for content searches that target Microsoft SharePoint Online

The post on M365 Admin explains how to enable audit log search for content searches that target Microsoft SharePoint Online in Microsoft Purview. The feature is now available and requires enabling 'SearchQueryInitiatedSharePoint' for users, after which searches conducted from various Microsoft 365 entry points into Microsoft SharePoint Online can be collected in the Microsoft Purview audit log search. Admin action is not required before the rollout, but reviewing configurations and updating documentation is advised. Users must enable SearchQueryInitiated events in Get started with auditing solutions | Microsoft Learn to capture searches initiated by users against SharePoint online. The rollout will happen automatically with no admin action required before the rollout, and organizations must review their current configuration to determine the impact and notify users about this change and update any relevant documentation.
