Any chance to extract/search a doc/xls from all sites

Question

Hi,
I have a sharepoint server with over 30 sub-sites but only one or two turned on the search/indexing function. Any chance I can issue a PowerShell command to search through all the sub-sites and locate a file ?
Thanks !!

Hi,
You may try below script
function
Get-DocInventory() {
    [void][System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint")
    $farm
= [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPFarm]::Local
    foreach ($spService
in $farm.Services) {
        if (!($spService
-is [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPWebService])) {
            continue;
        foreach ($webApp
in $spService.WebApplications) {
            if ($webApp
-is [Microsoft.SharePoint.Administration.SPAdministrationWebApplication]) {
continue }
            foreach ($site
in $webApp.Sites) {
foreach ($web
in $site.AllWebs) {
foreach ($list
in $web.Lists) {
if ($list.BaseType
-ne
"DocumentLibrary") {
continue
foreach ($item
in $list.Items) {
$data
= @{
"Web Application"
= $webApp.ToString()
"Site"
= $site.Url
"Web"
= $web.Url
"list"
= $list.Title
"Item ID"
= $item.ID
"Item URL"
= $item.Url
"Item Title"
= $item.Title
"Item Created"
= $item["Created"]
"Item Modified"
= $item["Modified"]
"File Size"
= $item.File.Length/1KB
New-Object
PSObject
-Property
$data
$web.Dispose();
$site.Dispose()
