Searching for Data Products

Data consumers can use Microsoft Purview to search for data products that match a business need.

Keyword search

Use familiar business words, subject areas, product names or glossary terms to locate relevant data products. Good metadata and consistent business terminology make keyword search much more effective.

Natural Language search

Where available, Natural Language search allows a consumer to describe what they are looking for in everyday language rather than relying only on exact keywords.

What to check in the results

• Purpose and description
• Owner and steward
• Related glossary terms
• Underlying data assets
• Quality information
• Access information

Finding a result is only the first step. The next step is understanding whether the data product is suitable for the intended use.
