    Yes, it is possible to create an indexer on the folder level in SharePoint. Here are the prerequisites and steps to get you started:Prerequisites: SharePoint in Microsoft 365: Ensure you have access to SharePoint Online as part of the Microsoft 365 suite.Document Library: The files you want to index should be stored in a SharePoint document library.Supported Document Formats: The SharePoint Online indexer can extract text from various document formats, including DOCX, XLSX, PPTX, PDF, and more.Steps to Create an Indexer: Add Site Columns: Tag files in your SharePoint library with custom metadata by adding Site Columns. This helps in filtering and organizing your documents.Create a Custom Folder Content Type: If you want to tag folders with metadata, create a custom folder content type.Use Power Automate: Keep your column values updated using Power Automate to ensure your metadata is always current.Configure the Indexer: Use the SharePoint Online indexer to connect to your SharePoint site and index documents from one or more document libraries. The indexer can index files and metadata incrementally, picking up new and changed files.
