Hello and welcome to Content Search. In this lesson, we are going to take a high-level look at Content Search and at what permissions are necessary to use it.
Content Search is available in the compliance center in Office 365 and Microsoft 365. It’s used to perform searches for things like emails, documents, and instant messaging conversations. A real-world example of a Content Search use case is a scenario that I’ve used many times throughout my career. As part of an MSP, I was called upon numerous times to find out if a specific email was received by users within the organization. The Content Search tool makes this task quite easy. As a matter of fact, you can use Content Search to search Exchange Online mailboxes, SharePoint Online sites, OneDrive for Business accounts, Microsoft Teams conversations, Microsoft 365 Groups, Yammer Groups, and Skype for Business conversations.
When you perform a Content search, Microsoft 365 returns the number of content locations that hold the data you are searching for, along with an estimated number of search results. These statistics allow you to easily identify which locations are likely to hold what exactly you are looking for.
Once the search completes, you can preview the results and even export them to your computer for review.
However, before you can use Content Search, you must be a member of the eDiscovery Manager role group in the Security & Compliance Center.
In the next few lessons, we’ll get more into the details of Content Search and some other search and investigation tools.
