Restricted Content Discoverability (RCD) is a feature that allows SharePoint Administrators to restrict specific SharePoint sites from participating in organization wide search and Microsoft 365 Chat. Once RCD is set on a given SharePoint site, all content from the site will be hidden from tenant-wide search and Microsoft 365 Chat by default for all users in the tenant, even if a user has site access permissions. While child content will be hidden by default, users will still be able to search for content they have recently interacted with. This includes recently accessed and modified files, even if RCD is applied to the parent site. Searches originating from a site context will not be impacted. When RCD is applied to a site, the following endpoints will honor the restriction:
