Deploying SharePoint Server Hybrid (legacy) — Question 27

You have a SharePoint Server farm and a SharePoint Online subscription.
You implement inbound hybrid search.
You need to ensure that SharePoint Online users can return search results from the farm.
What should you do?

Answer options

• A. From SharePoint Online, create a Remote SharePoint result source.
• B. From on-premises SharePoint Server, create a Remote SharePoint result source.
• C. From SharePoint Online, create a query rule.
• D. From on-premises SharePoint Server, configure a Secure Store Service application.

Correct answer: A

Explanation

The correct answer is A because creating a Remote SharePoint result source in SharePoint Online allows it to access and display search results from the on-premises farm. Option B is incorrect as configuring a source on the on-premises server does not affect SharePoint Online directly. Option C relates to modifying query behavior in SharePoint Online, which does not ensure access to on-premises results, and option D is unrelated to search result accessibility.
