2 ways of creating a unified data layer • Indexing • Crawl content from an on-premise search farm • Provides uniform content processing, relevance, and latency • Requires higher bandwidth and footprint • Federation • Send queries to multiple search instances and combine the results • Lower bandwidth, small footprint, sometimes the only way possible • Only as good as the weakest link, tricky to combine results well
What is an indexing connector? ConnectSecurely 1 SharePoint Map Content 2 Email Search Engine Feed Engine 3 File shares Find any changes 4 WebContent Connector Databases Enterprise Repositories
Why is this hard? • Heterogeneous Data Models and System characteristics • Every system is different • Mapping to common metadata is essential for findability • Heterogeneous Security • Every system has different security and authentication models • User must see ONLY information they are entitled to, across all systems • Bandwidth and Performance • Lots of content!!! • Cross-site Bandwidth can still be expensive or limited • Source systems can be the limiting factor and need a ‘light touch’ • Usually MANY systems, not just a couple

What is Federation? “Scatter-Gather” across multiple search engines Combined Result Set OOB in SharePoint 2013: Result Blocks With Partner Products: • interleaved by relevance order • Unified refiners for streamlined navigation and filtering Auto-generated refiners based on identity of source systems
Cross-version Federation to SharePoint 2013 Scenario 1: Enabling operations across mixed farms • Unified view (and refinement) of all enterprise content • Get the SP 2013 Search Experience enterprise-wide as soon as first farm deploys
Demo Federating across FAST Search for SharePoint and SharePoint 2013
Hybrid Cross-Version Federation Scenario 2: Bridging SharePoint 2010 & SharePoint Online 2013 • Adopt SharePoint 2013 Online rapidly, without having to immediately upgrade on-premise • Get the SP 2013 Online search experience enterprise-wide as soon as Office 365 subscription commences
Demo Federating across O365 (running SharePoint 2013) and SharePoint 2010
Intelligent unification of the Search Results Interleaved results Merged refiners Augmented metadata How does the Federator combine results? Interleaves result sets across sources by relevance order Creates new source refiner on the fly Combines refiners (adding ones with the same value)
