By default, Google Cloud Search indexes all of your Google Workspace data.
You can also create your own custom program, called a connector, to index
data stored in a third-party repository. A connector can be a separate program,
a script that runs in its own process, or an add-on to your repository.
There are two types of connectors: content connectors and
identity connectors. Content connectors are used to traverse a repository and
index the data so that Google Cloud Search can effectively search that data.
Identity connectors are used to map your enterprise's identities and group
rosters to the Google accounts and groups used by Google Cloud Search. These
mappings facilitate setting ACLs and search quality hints during indexing.

Several connectors have been built by Google and its partners. For a list of
pre-built connectors, refer to the
