 Hybrid federated search and Cloud hybrid search are the two hybrid experiences that a search administrator can choose while configuring hybrid search with Microsoft 365.
 
 With hybrid federated search solution for SharePoint in Microsoft 365, the results are federated from your search index in SharePoint Server and index in Microsoft 365. SharePoint on-premises crawls on-premises content and SharePoint in Microsoft 365 crawls SharePoint corpus. Post hybrid configurations, when authenticated users submit a query in a search center, a real time query would be fired against both indexes and authorized users will get search results from the Microsoft 365 search index and from the SharePoint Server search index. However, the results are separate and distinct from one another often displayed in separate search verticals or result blocks.

 With the hybrid federated search solution, you use both your index in SharePoint Server and your index in Microsoft 365. Both SharePoint Server and SharePoint in Microsoft 365 Search services can query the search index in the other environment and return federated results. When users search from a Search Center, the search results come from both your search index in SharePoint Server and your search index in Office 365.

 ## Where do you manage hybrid federated search?
 
-Because hybrid federated search is based on federating results from the two environments, you manage search separately in each environment, just as you'd do without hybrid federated search set up.
