+When you import search configuration files into the tenant admin search settings page, you might encounter an issue that the **Search Configuration List** could not display properly and you might receive a "File not found" error.
This issue only blocks the UI from displaying the list of search configuration files you imported and would not break the **Import** functionality. Your search configuration will be imported properly.
-Since you are unable to check the status of the search configuration file you imported from the UI, you could choose an alternative way to access the list, like [SharePoint CSOM API](/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/complete-basic-operations-using-sharepoint-client-library-code) or [SharePoint Online REST API](/sharepoint/dev/sp-add-ins/complete-basic-operations-using-sharepoint-rest-endpoints).

+ **Unable to export stale search configuration XML file**
+
+If the search configuration file was exported a long time ago, the import might fail.
+
+If the exported search configuration file is stale, you should export a new search configuration first and then use it to import the list of search configuration files.
