Search in SharePoint 2016

The Cloud Search service application will support crawling of on-premises content to build one unified index in the cloud.

All existing content sources that are supported in SharePoint Server 2013 will be supported for crawling by the Cloud Search service application.

The unified index will enable authenticated users to search from SharePoint Online and return results that include items from both on-premises content and online content without the need for implementing query federation.

Authenticated users will also be able to query from SharePoint Server 2010, 2013 or 2016 on-premises for content from the SharePoint Online unified search index.

Query federation continues to be supported in SharePoint Server 2013 for both the inbound and outbound model.
