Abstract: An item of content is received and it is analyzed to identify any different types of parsers that can be used to parse the item of content based on prior, user-selected parsers. One or more parsers is selected, based upon the content type in the item of content and based upon the prior, user-selected parsers. The selected parser is constructed in a server environment and is controlled to parse the item of content.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for locating relevant content items across multiple disparate content sources. Query parameters are received from a user interface for defining a query for searching a number of content sources located on multiple, disparate content servers. A native search is executed on each of the content servers based on the received query parameters, and query statistics and other data regarding content items in the content sources matching the query parameters are received. The query statistics are aggregated across the content servers and presented in the user interface. The presentation of the query statistics may be broken out by each content source, by each query phrase segmented from the query, and the like. In addition, a preview of a number of content items matching the query parameters is presented based on the data received.

Abstract: One or more indirect recipients of a communication item within a communication management application (CMA) may be preserved in-place. Indirect recipients include individual recipients within a distribution list (DL) via TO, carbon copy (CC), and/or blind carbon copy (BCC) fields of the communication item. At time of submission of the communication item, the CMA in conjunction with an assistant service may expand the DL to retrieve a list of individual recipients from the DL. The DL may be expanded by querying a directory server associated with the CMA. The DL expansion list may be saved to the communication item at the CMA by updating one or more properties of the communication item according to the expansion list. The DL expansion list may then be referenced for indexing so that a discovery search may be performed in-place at the CMA if and when the search is needed.

Abstract: Embodiments are directed to determining in an email data store which of a plurality of email mailboxes is searchable, to searching multiple mailboxes in an email data store and to preserving data items that are placed on hold. In an embodiment, a web service receives a request to determine which among many different email mailboxes is available for searching. The web service allows multiple different programs to search the email data store. The web service sends a query to the email data store to determine which email mailboxes are available for searching. The web service also returns a list of those email mailboxes which are searchable in the data store. The searchable mailboxes have an appropriate, specified version and permissions indicating that the mailbox is searchable.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for providing efficient in-place preservation of content in multiple, disparate content sources without disrupting end-users' access to the content or content sources. A preservation request comprising a specification of a content source and a filter specification is received and the content source is marked as “on hold.” If a content item in the content source is modified or deleted, a copy of the current version of the content item is placed in a preservation storage area. A trim job may be run periodically that removes content items from the preservation storage area that do not match the filter specification.

Abstract: Technologies are described herein for exporting content items from multiple disparate content sources to a single repository. Query parameters are received for locating content items hosted by one or more content servers of different types for export. Native search queries are generated for each content server from the query parameters and are executed on each content server. An export manifest listing the content items for export is built from query results received from the content servers. Each content item listed in the export manifest is then retrieved from the corresponding content server and stored in a single export repository.

Abstract: Various technologies and techniques are disclosed that use code access security for providing runtime accessibility checks. A request is received from a first program to access at least one private member of a second program at runtime. If the first program has a greater than or equal security context than the second program, then the first program is granted access to the at least one private member of the second program. This code access security check can be provided in a framework environment that is responsible for managing programs that are from unknown or untrusted sources.

Abstract: An electronic discovery (eDiscovery) application is used in managing an electronic discovery process across different electronic data sources using a central interface. The eDiscovery application assists in managing: authentication support for the different data sources; accessing the different data sources; placing holds on content across the different data sources; searching and filtering content across the different data sources; gathering data across the data sources; and the like. The eDiscovery application may be configured as an application on premise, a cloud based service and/or a combination of a cloud based service and an application.

Abstract: A requirement for a versioned resource is fulfilled, particularly in light of compatibility constraints of the requirement. Versions of the versioned resource are associated with compatibility information, such as a feature version and a service version, for example. In fulfilling the requirement, compatibility logic may be applied to identify versions that are compatible with the requirement, and selection logic may be applied to select a preferred version from the compatible versions.

Abstract: A hierarchical software update distribution system and method for distributing software updates is presented. The update distribution system includes a root update service node and at least one update service node. In an update distribution system, each update service node, except the root update service node, has one parent update service node. Each update service node may function as a parent update service node to child update service nodes.
