Use Copilot connectors to enhance Copilot Search
You can enhance the Copilot Search experience in your organization with over 100 prebuilt Microsoft 365 Copilot connectors. Microsoft 365 Copilot connectors enable seamless integration with Microsoft and non-Microsoft platforms by allowing organizations to ingest and unify data from services like Salesforce, ServiceNow, Confluence, Jira, GitHub, Google Drive, and more into Microsoft Graph to make the data available to search experiences.
Copilot connectors provide the following benefits:
- Unified indexing - External data is indexed alongside Microsoft 365 content, enabling a single, comprehensive search experience.
- Personalized results - Signals from Microsoft Graph and connector-ingested data help tailor results based on user roles, behaviors, and organizational relationships.
- Copilot extension - A browser add-on that enhances search relevance by incorporating signals from external work-related sites—without tracking general browsing activity.
The extensive connector ecosystem makes Copilot Search an enterprise-wide knowledge discovery platform that helps users find what they need, when they need it—no matter where the data lives.
