Is anyone successfully using the Enterprise websites connector for Microsoft Search?
It looks like the ability to crawl an internal website is in preview. This means its not production ready so should not be used in a production environment.
I haven't seen this functionality before and it is very new so I suspect not many people will have used it yet but you never know someone may reply.
Looks like you are based in my home town so feel free to reach out if you want to discuss some of these things. Details in profile.
We are currently using the Enterprise Websites connector to index "legacy intranet" content held on on-premise servers, and feed this into what will be the new intranet and intranet search on SharePoint Online.
Generally this is working well - our only issue is constraining search results to exclude parts that we don't want indexed. robots.txt directives don't seem to be honoured, and we have just started experimenting with sitemap files. We have a support ticket open with Microsoft at the moment regarding the robots.txt.Apart from that it's working well.
