The hybrid cloud search feature is one of the highly anticipated new SharePoint 2016. Itsprinciple is simple, typically SharePoint, and any search engine, locally stores its index (theindex is the set of information that allows users to find documents easily in the documentarysystem).SharePoint2016andSharePoint2013withtheCUofAugust2015providetheabilitytostoretheindexinthecloudandallowthecloudandonpremisethefarmpopulatethisindex.
