Session 1: Configuring and Customising Microsoft Search

With Microsoft Search you have several options to support your users find the content they are looking for when they need, from any search box. Knowing each capability and how they work is key to ensure Microsoft Search is set up and works to your expectations.
This session will dive into when and how you can customise the Microsoft Search experience across Microsoft 365 tenant wide, to work best with intranets and hub sites, and what your options are when the out of the box capabilities are not matching your needs. We will cover following topics:
