The ServiceNow
SharePoint Online Search Connector offers a consumer-grade search configuration to manage your information resources.  
As search is the key to productivity, SharePoint Online Search Connector (SPOC) helps your employees to search and discover content from the ServiceNow employee experience.  
Important:  
Starting with the Yokohama release, SharePoint Online Search Connector is being prepared for future deprecation. It is hidden and no longer activated on new instances but continue to be supported. For deprecation details, see the [Deprecation Process \[KB0867184\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB0867184) article in the Now Support knowledge base.
You can index content from multiple sites, enabling employees to find the relevant information through Employee Service Center, Service Portal, Now Mobile app, and Virtual Agent.  
Important:  
Currently, automatic migration path between SharePoint Online Search Connector and External Content Connectors is not available. For migration guidance, see the [Migration Guide: SharePoint Online Search Connector to External Content Connectors \[KB1791102\]](https://support.servicenow.com/kb?id=kb_article_view&sysparm_article=KB1791102) article in the Now Support knowledge base.
