Output
Click Run in the step header to test the step. Fetch Hive shows the search result output in Output after the run completes. Use the variable picker in a later step to insert the exact output path available for that run. The base reference is:Example
Add Copilot Search from the Microsoft group in Search steps…. Set Name to something likeFind Microsoft ecosystem coverage.
Enter your query in Search Query. If the query should reuse values from earlier workflow steps, click Insert Variable and add that reference.
Choose Location from the list or switch to Custom Value if you want to type a location or insert a variable.
Choose what should happen in When the step fails.
Click Run and review the returned results in Output before using them in a later step.
Notes
- This step appears under Microsoft in the step picker, not under Research.
- The editor does not show language, result count, or fallback controls for this step.
- If you need the exact returned fields for later references, run the step once and inspect the variable picker.
