SharePoint Online and Cognitive Search Integration

[Michael Krupey]

Trying to determine, art of the possible. In my environment, I'm not a global tenant administrator and only have SPO site collection administrator permissions. I do have my own Azure subscription in the tenant so I can  leverage Logic Apps, Functions and most other Azure services. My question is, with these limitations would I still be able to build applications and index my SPO content? Or is the index configuration more of a central administration setting.

Hi @michael, the first thing I want to make sure you are aware of is the new Indexer for SharePoint we introduced last week (https://docs.microsoft.com/azure/search/search-howto-index-sharepoint-online). I think you may find this to be an easy way to integrate this content into Cognitive Search. The nice part of both this indexer and the Logic Apps (assuming you are using a change trigger method) is that they use good practices to reduce the load on ingesting content from the tenant. Just as a side note, I put together a tutorial that uses Logic Apps that you might find useful here: https://github.com/liamca/Extending_SharePoint_Syntex_to_Cognitive_Search To ultimately answer your question, yes by using one of these techniques you would be able to build an application that would allow you to effectively search this content.
