SP Bulk Search
Install, connect, and run your first bulk search in under 5 minutes.
Install from Microsoft AppSource
SP Bulk Search is distributed through Microsoft AppSource. Your SharePoint administrator needs to approve and deploy the app to your tenant.
- Go to Microsoft AppSource and search for SP Bulk Search.
- Click Get it now and sign in with your Microsoft 365 account.
- Follow the prompts to deploy the app to your SharePoint App Catalog.
- Once deployed, you can add the SP Bulk Search web part to any SharePoint page.
You need SharePoint Administrator or Global Administrator permissions to deploy apps from AppSource to your tenant.
Add the web part to a page
Once the app is deployed, add the SP Bulk Search web part to a SharePoint page:
- Navigate to a SharePoint page and click Edit.
- Click the + button to add a web part.
- Search for SP Bulk Search and select it.
- The web part will appear on the page. Click Publish to save.
You can add the web part to any modern SharePoint page — team sites, communication sites, and hub sites are all supported.
Connect to a SharePoint site and run a search
With the web part on the page, connect it to a SharePoint list:
- In the web part, enter the URL of the SharePoint site you want to query.
- Click Connect. The web part will load the available lists from that site.
- Select the list you want to search from the dropdown.
- Use the Query Builder to add one or more filter conditions.
- Click Search to run the query and see matching results.
You can connect to any SharePoint site in your tenant that you have at least Read access to. Cross-site queries are supported.
Using the Query Builder
The Query Builder lets you filter list items by any column combination:
- Click Add filter to add a condition.
- Select a column from the dropdown — all columns in the list are available.
- Choose an operator: equals, contains, starts with, before, after, is empty, etc.
- Enter a value and click Search.
- Add multiple conditions — they are combined with AND logic by default.
Running bulk operations
Switch to Batch Operations mode to edit, delete, or create multiple items at once:
- Run a search to load matching records into the Data Explorer.
- Select the items you want to act on using the checkboxes, or select all.
- Click Bulk edit to update one or more columns on all selected items simultaneously.
- Review the preview of changes before confirming.
- Click Apply to commit the changes to SharePoint.
Bulk delete and bulk edit are irreversible. Always review the preview carefully before applying. Consider exporting a backup first.
Import and export
SP Bulk Search supports CSV and JSON for both reading and writing data:
- Export to CSV — click Export in the toolbar to download current search results as a
.csvfile. - Export to JSON — copies the full item structure (including internal field names) to the clipboard.
- Paste CSV — switch to the Paste CSV tab in Batch Operations, paste comma- or tab-delimited text, and it is automatically parsed into rows ready for create, update, or upsert. Column headers must match SharePoint internal field names.
- Paste JSON — paste or type a JSON array directly. Field validation runs automatically against the selected list's schema, highlighting type mismatches, missing required fields, and unknown column names before you apply.
Validation runs on both JSON and CSV input — errors and warnings appear inline before you commit any changes.
