Azure DevOps Graph connectors for Microsoft Search

Gloridel Morales

Microsoft Search is the workplace search solution offered with Microsoft 365. Microsoft Search lets you find the information you need by unlocking knowledge and expertise. It helps you find what you need to complete what you’re working on. Whether you’re searching for people, files, organization charts, sites, or answers to frequent questions, you can use Microsoft Search throughout your workday to get answers.

Microsoft Graph connectors offer an intuitive way to bring content from external services into Microsoft Graph, enabling external data to power Microsoft 365 intelligent experiences such as Microsoft Search. Microsoft Graph connectors offer many out-of-the-box solutions to index tasks and wikis from popular data sources like Azure DevOps.

Microsoft built Graph connectors available for indexing content.

Introducing the Azure DevOps Graph connectors for indexing work items and wikis

Index Work Items

The Azure DevOps Work Items connector enables your organization to index work items into Microsoft Search. This empowers your product and engineering teams to find tasks more efficiently and be more productive during their day.

  • Index work items selectively – You can easily filter which data you want to index. The connector allows configuration up to project level to selectively index data as per your organization’s need.

What’s next?

We will soon release the support for eDiscovery on the two Azure DevOps connectors. E-Discovery, or Electronic discovery, is the process of identifying and delivering electronic information that can be used as evidence in legal cases.

    For e-discovery it would be really really good to also support Azure Repos. Because in companies when it comes to vulnerable code, supply chain attack, dependencies (key word SBOMs). In that way it makes it much easier to prepare for those situations.

    During the development of the connectors, our company had been in closer contact with the team from India which developed the connectors to give feedback regarding wikis.
