It is very tangential here, but I think this whole concept of "searching everything indiscriminately" can get a little bit ridiculous, anyway. For example, when I'm looking for the latest officially approved (!) version of some document in SharePoint, I don't want search to bring up tons of draft versions that are either on my personal OneDrive or had been shared with me at some point in the past, random e-mails etc. Yet, apparently, there is no decent option for filtering, because supposedly "that's against the philosophy" and "nobody should even need or want such a feature" (why not???).

In some cases, context and metadata is even more important than the content of a document itself (especially when related to topics such as law/compliance, accounting etc.). However, maybe the loss of this insight is another collateral damage of the current AI hype.

Edit: By the way, this fits surprisingly well with the security vulnerability described here. An external email is used that purports to contain information about internal regulations. What is the point of a search that includes external sources for this type of questions, even without the hidden instructions to the AI?
