Our workplaces are changing
With growth in data,
and limited attention spans,
finding information is hard
The traditional IT role is
shifting from managing
servers to empowering users
Expectations morphed
to want knowledge and
answers, not just data
The best-run companies
are supporting decision-
making at the edge

Microsoft Search features
Built on the Microsoft Graph and using Bing technology, Microsoft Search
gives your employees the ability to easily find:
Files: Contextual and relevant files on SharePoint, OneDrive for Business, and more
People: Someone’s role within the company, what they’ve been working on, org
charts, and ways to contact them – even when you search by their nickname
Groups: Office 365 groups by name or by members, then browse shared content
Sites, answers and resources: Curated bookmarks help them navigate quickly to
internal sites and tools, while Q&A’s give them quick answers without additional clicks
Locations: Addresses, maps, and directions to company buildings
Conversations: Relevant topics in Microsoft Teams and Yammer chats
Multiple entry points
Microsoft Search is consistently placed
across the apps you work with every
day—desktop, mobile, and web
• Microsoft Search in Office.com: Surfacing the same
search scope across Microsoft 365
• Microsoft Search in SharePoint mobile app: Search
as the default experience when you enter the app
• Microsoft Search in the Outlook mobile app:
Intelligent search capabilities to find content and
people on the go
• Microsoft Search in Office: Search in the ribbon
offers the same consistent experience and results
• Microsoft Search in Windows: Perform searches
that include local and organizational search results
