Problem description

I am experiencing an issue with Azure DevOps Services where search functionality for work items is not working organization-wide. The search results are delayed because the message indicates that one or more projects are still being indexed. This problem started after a tenant migration and project merge around 2026-10-18, and it has persisted for several weeks. Code search continues to function properly, but work item and package searches do not return results.

Environment

Azure DevOps Services, organization with approximately 20 projects, impact across all projects, affecting work item and package search

What I've already tried

I verified the problem in the Azure DevOps web experience and confirmed that the same indexing message appears across all projects. I tested the work item search REST API directly, which returned an infoCode 6 with the message 'account being onboarded' and zero results. I compared search types and noted that code search still works. I also tested in an InPrivate browser window, and the issue persists. No incident is reported on the Azure DevOps status page.

Current status

Currently, the organization is still showing an indexing/onboarding state for work item search across all projects. The most recent API call still returns infoCode 6, indicating that the search onboarding process has not completed. I am seeking guidance on how to resolve this indexing issue and whether it requires escalation to Azure engineering team.
