Overview
Microsoft Search offers customers a single place to search over all their enterprise content. It is deeply integrated with Microsoft 365 and works out of the box with content in the Microsoft cloud. Customers can index other enterprise data sources using out of the box connectors or by building their own. Some of the key features of Microsoft Search are:

Integrated with Microsoft 365

Users can find relevant results in context, whether they are working in Office, SharePoint, Outlook, Teams, Bing or Edge. Users can search using the search bar present in these apps and find relevant results from across the organization in the integrated search results page. Microsoft Search in Bing allows users to find relevant work results when searching the web.

Discover knowledge & answers

With its AI powered search, it allows users to discover knowledge & answers. Microsoft Search makes it easy for users to find important sites and apps using recommended bookmarks, meaning of acronyms used within the organization, popular topics along with useful resources and key contacts and answers to frequently asked questions. With support for floor plans & locations, it also lets users search for people, rooms, and spaces within your organization along with directions and navigation.

Connectors to popular data sources

Microsoft Search comes with out of the box connectors to index your intranet, websites, file shares, databases, wikis and other cloud services (such as ServiceNow, Salesforce and Confluence). It also has a rich ecosystem of over a 150 connectors from partners. Microsoft Search also lets customers federate to their existing Azure Cognitive Search deployment.

Secure by design

Microsoft Search always keeps your users and data protected. With enterprise-grade security, authenticated users only see content they have access to.

Search customization

Admins can tailor search to their organizational needs with several customization options. Customers can use the 'Search and Intelligence center' in the Microsoft 365 admin center to manage Microsoft Search. The administration UI presents useful search statistics, add authoritative answers in the form of bookmarks & acronyms, setup connectors, fine tune the search schema and relevancy settings, customize the search results page and the search result layout.

Pricing
Microsoft Search is available at no cost to all Microsoft 365 customers. While customers are not charged for the indexed Microsoft 365 content, they would have to buy additional capacity to index content using connectors.
