Implementing Cloud Hybrid Search
Matthew McDermott Thanks for your input! Pretty much you are spot on what I was thinking as well. Duplication of search results is something that I'm trying to manage, and try to herd the cats as much as I can :) I am planning to use the isexternalcontent property for this purpose. Any other additional thoughts around this ?
That's how I would handle it. Create a plan for the roll out and assign Result Source rules to each phase so you can manage the transition. That will help you with the end user perception.
Thanks Matthew McDermott - I also think there needs to be a step to manage the on-premises Default proxy group for web apps. I may have to create a new proxy group that includes Cloud SSA but not the regular SSA so that web apps can be moved to leverage 1 search SSA, not the other.... Because I am not sure if I can create result sources in regular search that will can point to local sharepoint results of Cloud ssa. So by implementing another proxy group, web apps can be forced to not use regular SSA but the cloud ssa, and its local sharepoint results result source which includes the cloud results.
