This new hybrid search solution is also native to SharePoint Server 2016 IT Preview. Cloud hybrid search offers users the ability to seamlessly discover relevant information across on-premises and Office 365 content. With the cloud hybrid search solution, you index all your crawled content, including on-premises content, in your search index in Office 365. When users query your search index in Office 365, they get unified search results from both on-premises and Office 365 cloud services with combined search relevancy ranking.

Here are some initial links related to SharePoint 2016 Beta 2. I'd recommend taking a look at "New and improved features in SharePoint 2016 Beta 2" and "Known Issues for SharePoint 2016 Beta 2" as first points of call as they do contain some good information about the product and what changes it has gone though.
