Microsoft Search: Use, view, and manage your personal query history
Microsoft Search is the intelligent search experience in Microsoft 365. We’re improving Microsoft Search, adding a new option to view and manage your personal query history. With personal query history, you’ll see your recent queries as you begin typing in the search box to help you get back to insights and information you recently used or accessed so you’ll no longer have to bookmark your queries or memorize the right query to get you back to where you were. Your personal query history can be managed through your Office 365 My Account settings. New My Account privacy controls allow you to delete your query history or download your query history for future reference.

Exchange: Support for Plus Addressing in Office 365
Plus Addressing is a great way to quickly create custom (or disposable) email addresses based off your standard email address, by simply adding a “+” suffix string to an existing email address in Office 365. For example, a plus address for kimakers@contoso.com could be something like kimakers+northwind@contoso.com that she could use to sign up for the newsletter at the Northwind web site. Then when Northwind sends a newsletter to kimakers+northwind@contoso.com it will route directly to kimakers@contoso.com. Kim could create an Inbox rule that then moves messages sent to this + address into the “Northwind” folder. Plus addressing support in Office 365 is a great way to more easily manage your Inbox, and even track mail like marketing and sales campaigns.

Microsoft Forms: Specific User Sharing for Collaboration for GCC, GCC-High and DoD
Microsoft Forms: Specific User Sharing for Collaboration is a new Office 365 feature that allows Form Owners to collaborate with specific users or security groups. This allows for the creation of specified Co-authors that can help design the form and view/analyze response data and allows a Form Owner to keep the collaboration locked down much further than using the existing collaboration styles “Users with an office 365 work or school account can view and edit” or “Only users in my organization can view and edit” We’ll be gradually rolling this out to Worldwide O365 customers in Late April 2020. The roll-out will be completed by Early May 2020 . Previously, Co-authors created by the feature Share-Share to Collaborate- “Users with an office 365 work or school account can view and edit” or “Only users in my organization can view and edit” were able to modify the permissions level of collaboration, eg changing it from “Only users in my organization” – “Users with an office 365 account”. This ability will now be removed from all existing co-authors as well as any newly created co-authors. Only Form owners will be able to change this setting.

Search your document like you search the web. We’re utilizing well-established web search technologies, such as query and document understanding, and adding deep learning based natural language models.

For example, technincian vs. technician. Forms of words: When there are different forms of the word in document and query. For example: tech, technology, technologies”; or USA, U.S.A, United States, United States of America; or newborn, new born, new-born, etc. Synonyms: For example: citation, quotation, quote, reference might be all the candidates for a term that you are searching for inside the document. A multi-word query: A single word query might lead to too many search results. A modern semantic search can often yield better results. For example: as a query of Oil Price, the content having Price of Oil, Prices of the Oil, Cost of Oil can offer related matches from within the document content.
