Making the most of Microsoft Search

on YouTube ↗26m

" summary

Microsoft Search surfaces direct answers, people and links across apps by indexing content with Microsoft Graph and by query-time federation; a transformer called the Touring model reads documents in SharePoint and OneDrive and returns concise authoritative answers (demo shows correct policy text and a working RSVP-able calendar answer). Connectors ingest up to 5 million items per connection (10 connections = 50 million items) for Jira, Confluence, ServiceNow and on‑prem SharePoint, while federated search keeps data in place and merges results at query time.
