Cloud Hybrid Search Limitations

Feature OOB Limitation BA Insight
CEWS not available with Cloud SSA available via connector framework
Entity Extraction not available with Cloud SSA available via autoclassifier
Custom Security Trimming not available with O365 index can 'map down' to AD groups
Thesaurus
SharePoint Online doesn't support a thesaurus
can use Federator - with SP server-
based search center
Removal of on-premises
search results not available with Cloud SSA (could provide a custom solution)

Full Range of Hybrid Search Configurations
Scenario
Most systems and portals
hosted on-premises
Most systems and portals
hosted in the cloud
Must work across borders but
maintain data residency
Single Single MultiSearch
Search Index Search Index Across Multiple
in SP Server in SP Online * Search Indices
How it works
Crawls SP Online and
other sources from SP
Server
Crawls SP Server and other
sources from Cloud SSA, pushes
text & metadata to SP Online
Searches SP Online and SP
Server simultaneously;
combines the results
Advantages
Simplest approach;
best search experience
Low footprint on-premises;
can use online features
(Delve, DLP)
Only solution for some
scenarios
BA Insight
Improvement over OOB
no OOB solution
Adds content outside SP

Supports content enrichment
Provides single interleaved

Workloads, Environment, Data, Customizations
Availability of features Online versus
On-Premises on particular workloads
Significant investments in
customization of On-Premises
workloads
Concerns over global network
