1. Use the content search engine

1.1. Create a search

To gain access to the content search page to run searches and preview and export results, an administrator, compliance officer, or eDiscovery manager must be a member of the eDiscovery Manager role group in the Security & Compliance Center.

  • Go to https://protection.office.com and log in with your Office 365 email address and password.
  • Click Search > Content Search.
  • On the Search page, click the arrow next to + New Search.
  • Click New Search in the drop down list.
  • In Search Query, specify the following:
  • Keywords to find – Enter a search query in the Keywords box. Alternatively, you can click the Show keyword list checkbox and enter keywords in each row.
  • Condition – You can add search criteria to narrow and return a more sophisticated set of results.
  • Location – Select the location of the content to find.
  • All locations – Use this option to find all content placements in your organization.
  • Specific location – Use this option to find specific content placements.
  • After you’ve set up your search query, click Save and run.
  • On the Save Search page, enter a name and description of the options that help define the search. The name of the search must be unique within your organization.
  • Click Save to start the search.

After you save and run the search, all results that it returns will be displayed in the results pane. Depending on how you have the preview settings configured, the results are displayed or you have to click Preview results to view them.

To revisit this content or access other content listed on the Content Search page, select Search and then click Open.

To delete results or create another search, click Add new Search icon.

1.2. Preview search results

There are two settings for previewing search results. After you run a new search or open an existing item, press ** Invidual results ** to view preview settings:

  • Automatic preview of results – This setting displays results after you run a search.
  • Preview results manually – This setting displays a blank in the search results pane and displays a Preview Results button that you must click to display results. This is the default setting. It helps improve search performance by not automatically displaying search results when you open an existing search.

  • Queries – Displays statistics on search queries.
  • Top position – Displays statistics on the number of items that match the search query in each content position. The top 1,000 positions are displayed.
