Using search api gives perhaps more control than using Content Search from Compliance Center but requires more knowledge of the search api.
Using search API has pros and cons. I personally think it is great. It can be used in many different applications (PowerShell, csom, node.js, ...) but assumes that the content has been indexed and there are no blind spots plus the user must have at least read access.
Also make sure to iterate over the search results because they will only be returned in sets of 500 items. Also make sure the trimduplicates is set to false.
Search will only return the latest version. All the document versions are not exposed.
