As the volume of data within organizations continues to grow, Microsoft has developed a solution to streamline this process: Microsoft Search, also known as Microsoft Bing.

  3. Navigating Search Results
    When conducting a search, users will encounter various categories related to their Microsoft 365 suite. The results are sorted by relevance and displayed in the central part of the screen. The categories include: - **All**: Searches all data within Microsoft 365. - **People**: Searches for contacts based on keywords such as name, title, or team name. - **Groups**: Displays contact groups created as part of distribution lists. - **Sites**: Targets specific sites within the organization, such as SharePoint. - **Files**: Shows folders and files containing the searched keyword. - **Conversations**: Searches through corporate conversations, both private and public, for the specified keyword. - **Power BI**: Searches exclusively among Power BI files.

00:00:04
We spend 20% of the time searching
00:00:07
for documents and information,
00:00:09
especially now as the volume of data
00:00:11
continues to grow within our companies.
00:00:14
It is to reduce this
00:00:16
percentage among its users
00:00:17
that Microsoft created a search
00:00:19
engine called Microsoft Search,
00:00:21
also known as Microsoft Bing. Built
00:00:23
into Bing and the Edge browser's address
00:00:26
bar to perform classic web searches.
00:00:29
It will also search your Microsoft
00:00:31
365 suite if it's connected
00:00:34
and you allow it to do so.
00:00:36
Whether it's a document, an email,
00:00:39
a person or a Teams conversation,
00:00:41
Microsoft Search will help you find
00:00:44
what you're looking for as easily and
00:00:47
quickly as a traditional web search.
00:00:49
You can also add Microsoft Bing
00:00:51
to Google Chrome by adding
00:00:53
the extension to your browser.
00:00:55
You'll find it in the Google
00:00:58
Web store in just a few clicks.
00:01:00
It is of course possible for
00:01:03
you to disable it at anytime.
00:01:05
Let's see how to use the
00:01:07
Microsoft Bing search engine.
00:01:09
Your System Administrator must have
00:01:11
authorized Microsoft Bing to search
00:01:13
throughout the Microsoft 365 suite.
00:01:15
If so,
00:01:16
just use the search bar
00:01:18
directly in the Edge browser.
00:01:20
A classic search on the web appears.
00:01:23
Note that if you are looking for
00:01:26
certain information such as a
00:01:28
coworker's name or first name,
00:01:30
it will appear directly at that
00:01:33
location. Just below the search bar,
00:01:35
you'll find the "Work" tab in addition
00:01:38
to the usual tabs. By clicking on it,
00:01:42
the results you'll be shown will
00:01:44
come directly from your company
00:01:46
and not the web. On the left side
00:01:49
of this new display, you'll find
00:01:52
the different categories related
00:01:54
to your Microsoft 365 suite. All
00:01:56
will search all the data in your
00:01:59
Microsoft 365 and sort them by
00:02:02
relevance in the central part.
00:02:04
Just like a traditional web search.
00:02:07
"People" will only search for
00:02:09
your keyword in your contacts.
00:02:11
You can find someone based on their name,
00:02:14
first name, title or even team name.
00:02:18
"Groups" will show you contact
00:02:20
groups that you have created as
00:02:23
a part of as a distribution
00:02:25
list, all your working groups,
00:02:27
whether they are public or private.
00:02:29
"Sites" will target specific sites in
00:02:32
your business that you are a part of,
00:02:35
like SharePoint. "Files" will show
00:02:37
you folders and files that include
00:02:39
the keyword you search for,
00:02:41
either in the name or in the content.
00:02:45
"Conversations", as the name suggests,
00:02:47
will search in all corporate conversations,
00:02:49
private and public,
00:02:50
and display them to you in
00:02:52
the central column,
00:02:54
if the word you are looking for
00:02:56
is in the name or the written
00:02:59
content of the conversation.
00:03:00
It will also display them if it is in the
00:03:04
name or first name of a collaborator.
00:03:08
The last tab "Power BI"
00:03:10
will search only among your Power BI files.
00:03:13
You can even find the location of an
00:03:16
employee's office on the company's premises,
00:03:18
if the person in question has
00:03:20
filled that part in the profile.
00:03:22
This is useful for a newcomer
00:03:25
or if the area
00:03:26
of the premises is large.
00:03:28
Microsoft Search can also help you
00:03:30
find the meaning of certain acronyms
00:03:32
specific to your company if and only if
00:03:35
they have been informed by your System
00:03:38
Administrator. The Microsoft
00:03:40
search bar is also available
00:03:42
in all apps that support it,
00:03:45
allowing you to access it directly
00:03:47
from the document you're working on.
00:03:50
This saves you a lot of time
00:03:52
in searching for a document.
