New user analytics extended to Microsoft Outlook, Teams, and Office in the Search

We are excited to announce that Microsoft Search Analytics reports in the Search & Intelligence Admin Center have been updated with improved user analytics! We have expanded coverage to almost all search applications, including Outlook, Teams, and Windows Search!

The goal is to give you a good insight into adoption of search and to identify adoption gaps for specific search applications, geographies, or departments.
