Hi
Is it correct that in order to get the index from "On-Premise" searchable from SPOI've to create a Cloud SSA (only possible with Powershell) on the - 'On-Prem' farm?
And no reasons to do it in the Index/empty TEST environment (as it is 'just' a SSA) - so no downtime or similar?- You must use a CSSA, that's correct. You can create it through Manage Service Applications in Central Admin; there is a checkbox when creating a Search Service Application to make it a CSSA, but PowerShell is the recommended method.
You should not create a CSSA in any environment that you do not want results in SharePoint Online; this will likely include dev and/or test environments. I use standard SSAs in dev while using a CSSA in prod.
