Add SharePoint custom Result Sources/Search Scopes to harmon.ie

harmon.ie allows you to filter search results using SharePoint result sources (search scope rules in SharePoint 2010). Result sources are defined in the M365 administration Manage Result Sources page.

When adding one or more custom result sources, harmon.ie automatically adds a new search scope as well – All Content. If this scope is selected, no result source is used.
