Hello, and welcome to Exporting Content Search Results.
Once you run a successful content search, you’ll often need to pull the results down to your local computer. You can do this by exporting your results. Depending on the type of data you searched, the results will be exported in different formats. For example, when you export email results, they’ll be downloaded as PST files. Content from SharePoint and OneDrive for Business sites is exported as a copy of the native Office documents included in the search.
Before exporting the results of a Content Search, you first have to prepare the results. Once prepared, those results can then be exported and downloaded. I should also mention that you need to have been assigned the Export management role in the Security & Compliance Center, before you can export search results. Since this role is assigned to the built-in eDiscovery Manager role group, adding your account to that group will allow you to export and download content.
One other important thing to note is that the export management role IS NOT assigned by default to the Organization Management role group. You would think that would be a role for someone performing organization management, but it’s not included.
As I mentioned earlier, the first step when exporting search results is the preparation of those search results. More specifically, this means that when you prepare your search results, those results are uploaded to a Microsoft-provided Azure Storage location in the Microsoft cloud.
To prepare your search results, you login to https://protection.office.com and select the search that you wish to export. The output options that you choose will determine whether all items from the search are exported, or if just a subset are. If exporting Exchange data, you can export the data to one PST per mailbox, one PST for everything you export, or you can export individual messages. If you are exporting SharePoint or OneDrive for Business data, you’ll have to specify your SharePoint export options as well.
After preparing your export options, you can then export the data and download it from the Azure Storage location you exported it to. If prompted to download and install the eDiscovery Export Tool, do that, because what the eDiscovery Export Tool does is display the status of the export process.
