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.

Locating relevant content items across multiple disparate content sources

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.
