Enterprise search?

Is there a way to get your own data in Office 365 search/delve?

 

Like data from other indexing systems elasticsearch, solr

Document platforms Alfresco

Local file shares

 

Maybe a crawl connector you can build for Cloud Search Service Application?

  • Currently you can look into hybrid indexing, which allows an on-prem SharePoint server to index LOB content into the cloud index. LOB content will then show side by side with the online content. You don't need to use the onprem server for anything but crawling.

      Is that the Sharepoint Business Data Connectivity Services?

        James_Deslan yes as part of hybrid search setup. There has also been mentions from Build now about a connector API - so we'll have to wait and see what/how this looks like.
