I have an ASP site where the contents of the ASP site comes from a SharePoint 2010 site. This is done by a job, it copies all the files from SharePoint to the server path.

We have a search in the ASP site, whenever the user searches for any document, the result come from SharePoint and it is displayed in an Iframe of the ASP site, we have written a custom code in SharePoint that gives the required result.

Now we are moving to SPO from SP 2010. Can we use the default search (OSS search) of the SPO and invoke it in the ASP site?

How can we connect ASP and SPO site? Also let me know if there are any other possibilities to invoke SharePoint online search in ASP site and display result in Iframe.

    Hi @angel sheela ,
    Per my research, you can follow the steps to covert ASP site to sharepoint site.

    Step1: Add a Web Deployment Project to your website solution that will create a single DLL for the website. This step will give us the code-behind DLL and other dependency DLLs for the website.

    Step2: Copy the bin folder items (DLLs) into the SharePoint site, and tweak the web configuration file of the SharePoint site to use the copied DLLs.

    Step3: Open your created SharePoint site in SharePoint Designer and import the web pages from our web application and link it to the appropriate DLLs.

    As far as I know, the oss search doesn't work in sharepoint online. You can use the sharepoint online default search by following document

    Hi @angel sheela ,

    You can use SPO CSOM and search api to show search results in your asp.net application.

    For authentication part, you can use username/ password based authentication (you will have to implement it using SharePointOnlineCredentials class).

    You will have to implement it at your .net application level as you can't use default search page in an iframe.

    Hope this helps.

    Regards
