Hybrid Implementations:

SharePoint server 2016 has come up with new feature of supporting Hybrid scenario effortlessly. In SharePoint 2013 we were able to provision Hybrid search center by using Query Federation, which used to give us the results from both Cloud & on Premises intranet. The Problem with that was, it used to give two result sets which cannot be refined or filtered simultaneously. The new version has come up with better implementation of Hybrid Search Centers, which will help us getting unified results sets where we will be able to get the content of both the cloud and on premises in a single result set which can be refined & filtered easily.
