Best Practices of SharePoint 2010 Search

Hello,
I plan to create separate content sources for each site collection to schedule crawling, and I plant create content source for user profile search crawling. Do you think it is a good practice?We have site collections, users upload documents everyday in one
of the site collections, and other site collections don't need crawling every day. I'm not sure if it is a good practice.

As Alex explain you should consider the Incremental Crawl. its depend upon the the size of content and peak hours for sharepoint and important thing how quickly you want the content is search results( whats your tolerance level).
I would configure the Incremental Crawl at off peak hours and once a day but can be change as per requirement. Also keep in mind, schedule should not conflict with Backup jobs( if you have any schedule SharePoint backup jobs) also try to avoid with UPS sync
timings.

  • Best Practices in SharePoint 2010 ( Out of the box feature vs Custom Web Part, development )

    Hi
    How do we differentiate on when to allow custom web parts and when to use out of the box.
    What are the performance issues involved when we deploy a custom web part into the SharePoint server. 
    Why do some companies prefer to allow only out of the box features, and no custom work is done?

    SharePoint is a powerful, flexible server product that can provide a wealth collaboration environment right out of box.
    Best answer for your question is depend upon your requirement. Sometime Out of Box features will solve all the problem with little designing. But sometime your requirement need a Custom Web part / solution.
    With OOTB implementation the big advantage is easy to trouble shoot & fix the issues. You will also found tons of blogs on internet for OOTB features. In custom development, its hard to troubleshoot & identifying whether its SharePoint issue or Custom
    code issue.
    check the below article for more ideas.

    Hi Raghuramk,
    is the web service is a search query web service? if yes, i suppose sharepoint 2013 already deprecated,
    Search Query web service
    Description: The Search Query web service is deprecated in SharePoint 2013.
    In SharePoint Server 2010, the Search Query web service exposes the SharePoint Enterprise Search capabilities to client applications. This enables you to access search results from client and web applications outside the context of a SharePoint site.
    Reason for change: The Search Query web service is deprecated because the client object model (CSOM) and a new REST-based web service are available for developing Office-wide extensibility scenarios. The CSOM exposes the same functionality
    as the Search Query web service, and a larger set of functionality for stand-alone client applications.

  • Sharepoint 2010 search service from C# web service and Powershell - passing credentials to search

    Good morning everyone,
    I really need your expert help about the following issue. I ve developed a web service in C#. Its core code has a Powershell script inside which makes a call to SharePoint 2010 search service to make some search queries, and returns some URL of some files. 
    In Powershell code I make connection to SharePoint search service using the Farm Admin account. This system works, but given results are not filetered by the user using the web service (I remember you I m using the Farm admin account in PS code)
    How can I use user account to make some queries ? How can I filter search results by user ? In Powershell code I put username and password of Farm Admin account and I know them because I m the farm administrator, but
    what about if I want to pass Powershell code some other user credentials ? Of course I cannot know his credential ..  Can I do it , in which way ?
    Any help is really appreciated !
    Gae 

    Hi Gae, if you are using web services, you shouldn't need to add a SharePoint DLL to your project. I would advise against using C# -> PS -> Web Service Call -> PS -> C# if you could go straight C# -> Web Service -> C#.
    Anyways, back to the matter at hand. Do you know what type of authentication your SharePoint server is running? Is it direct NTLM, NTLM over Kerberos, Claims, or something different?
    The following article provides the various types of impersonation available in SharePoint:

    HI,
    1.  
    Ensure that the IIS Admin service is running
    2.  
    Ensure that the ApppPool related to the service is running
    3.  
    Ensure that the DB server that application is located is running and have enough space.
    4.  
    Ensure that the Apppool is set with the correct credentials and password.
    Do you see any correllation ID while search or any error.If its a correlation ID,please check the below site to get the exact error from where its generating.

  • SharePoint 2010 Search "Did You Mean" | How does it work?

    My customer has raised a concern that "Did you mean" functionality works inconsistently and issue is explained as below:
    1. When I search for misspelled word such as "Maketting" , search page displays the option "Did you mean ""Marketting"?
    2. When I search for another misspelled word "Marktng", I get no result and no "Did you mean" option.
    I believe there is a dictionary which maintains the mapping between misspelled word and the correct words but I was unable to track the location whether it is in database or a file system. Has anyone faced this issue and know the solution? Below article
    talks about a "Dictionary lexicon" but not sure about the location in SharePoint 2010 farm.

    Hi Deepak,
    “Do you mean” functionality is enabled by selecting Query Suggestions in Search Box web part.
    Suggestions are automatically built based on what search results are actually clicked on. It takes 6 clicks within a year for SharePoint to add a suggestion.
    However, if an administrator needs to add a suggestion manually this can be done using the SharePoint 2010 Management Shell (PowerShell).
    I recommend to use PowerShell to check all the suggestions in the Search Service Application, and then remove the one that you do not need.
    $ssa=Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
    Get-SPEnterpriseSearchQuerySuggestionCandidates -SearchApp $ssa
    Remove a suggestion, such as “Marketting”:
    $ssa=Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
    Remove-SPEnterpriseSearchLanguageResourcePhrase -SearchApplication $ssa -Language En-Us -Type QuerySuggestionAlwaysSuggest -Identity "
    Marketting "
    More references about the query suggestion:

  • BEST PRACTICE FOR AN EFFICIENT SEARCH FACILITY

    Good Morning,
    Whilst in Training, our Trainer said that the most efficiency from the Sharpoint Search would be to install the Search Facility on a separate server (hardware).
    Not sure how to have this process done.
    Your advice and recommendation would be greatly appreciated.
    thanks a mil.

    Hi,
    You can
    create a dedicated search server that hosts all search components, query and index role, and crawl all on one physical server.
    Here are some article for your reference:

  • Customization approach as per best practice for SharePoint Online

    Hi All,
    I am working for a customer for customization on SharePoint Online. I need to create following customization.
    For each department one site collection is required to be created. There will be 15 site collections.
    Each site collection will have couple of team sites.
    Each team will have couple of document libraries and customer list.
    Custom lists and document libraries will have custom views.
    MaterPage and Layout will be customized to apply the UI Branding.
    Customer wants that configuration management should be as per the Microsoft best practice. I am wondering what the approach I should use is.
    Should I create visual studio solution, but since there are 15 different site collections are required to be created I believe sandboxed solution will not be feasible sine sandboxed solution are scoped with site collection.
    I also believe if I do create visual studio solution that development efforts will be extensive.
    I am not sure whether it is feasible, use the SharePoint Designer to apply this customization but I am confused in this case. If it is possible then how I will promote the customization to production.
    I am also confused in case SharePoint online how I will keep production and development environment separate? What is the best practice around it?

    Hi,
    You can create Custom Master page using SharePoint Designer. And for first four points from creating Sitecollection to creating views you can create a hierarchy of objects in site using csv file and then create Powershell script to create sitecollection,
    team site, list/libraries and view by reading csv files.

  • Problem rename sharepoint 2010 search service application admin database

    Hi all,
    i have a problem that hopefully someone has an answer to.  i am not too familiar with sharepoint so please excuse my ignorance.
    we have sharepoint 2010 on a windows 2008r2 server.  everything seems to work fine.  but as you know, the default database names are horrendous.  i have managed to rename all of them, except for the "search service application" admin
    database.
    the default is: Search_Service_Application_DB_<guid>
    the other 2 databases (crawl and property) were renamed without a problem.
    we are following the article from technet on how to rename the search service admin db (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-nz/library/ff851878%28en-us%29.aspx).  it says to enter the following command:
    $searchapp | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -DatabaseName "new database name" -DatabaseServer "dbserver"
    however, i get an error about identity being null.  no big deal, i add the -Identity switch and the name of my search service application.  but the real problem comes the error it throws:
    Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication : The requested database move was aborted as the associated search application is not paused.
    At line:1 char:54
    + $searchapp | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication <<<<  -Identity "Search Service Application" -DatabaseName "SharePoint2010_Search_Service_Application_DB" -DatabaseServer "dbserver"
        + CategoryInfo          : InvalidData: (Microsoft.Offic...viceApplication:
       SetSearchServiceApplication) [Set-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication], I
      nvalidOperationException
        + FullyQualifiedErrorId : Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Cmdlet.SetSearchS
       erviceApplication
    when i look at the crawling content sources, i see "Local SharePoint Sites" and it's status is Idle.  i even looked at this article on how to pause the search to no avail.  (http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ee808864.aspx)
    does someone know how i can rename my Search Service Applcation Admin database properly?  or at least "pause" that service so i can rename it?
    thank you all in advanced

    If you want to have no guids for your search admin db, i recommend you check out this script :)
    just delete your search service application (assuming you have just started)

    Hi Basva,
    Do you want to provision two search service applications in single farm?
    Commonly, only one search service application is needed in a farm for Search function.
    Here are articles for detail information about how to provision search service application using powershell:

    Hi Cally,
    As I understand, you encountered the issue when you accessed Search Service Application.
    Did you install any updates recently? Does it work before? Could you find more related error message?
    Please go to CA > Application Management > Manage service on this server, restart search service. Then go to Services.exe on the SharePoint machine, and restart SharePoint 2010 Timer and SharePoint Sever Search 14 services.
    In addition, here is an article with similar issue for your reference:

  • SharePoint 2010 Search Service is not working on replication of Servers.

    Hi, I have a problem. I have a SharePoint Farm in which there are two servers with ip's 192.168.8.60 and 192.168.8.62. Both are replicas of each other. The search service is working on 192.168.8.60 and not working on 192.168.8.62. What can be the problem?
    Also tell me how can I make the search service working on 192.168.8.62. What can be the issue?

    Hi,
    Could you provide more details about how the search service doesn’t work?
    Are the search service unable to be started in CA -> Application Management -> Manage services on server? Or did you find it not working when you did searching? If that is the case, could you provide the error about
    it?
    It would be helpful to solve this issue if you provide more details about the issue.
    Best Regards,
    Dean Wang

  • Question on SharePoint 2010 Search

    I have a site which has existing for many years ...everything is working fine.
    Quite recently users started reported that certain items do not show up in their search results.
    even though these items do not have any custom permissions. Also all users have same permissions.. (every user belongs to the same SP Group)
    Yet!! the item does not appear in search results of some people.
    In order to test this, I created a new AD Account and added it to the same SP Group. Now I can browse the site and all its content using browser.
    but when I search... the test account sees no results what-so-ever "no results were found for foo"
    So this is very funny.
    1. UserA belongs to group A and sees everything in search results
    2. UserB belongs to group A and sees partial test results
    3. TestA belongs to group A and sees nothing
    We do not break inheritance anywhere and all items inherit their permissions from site. In advanced version settings, we say "anyone who can READ the items. "
    what could be going wrong?
    1. why does test account see nothing in search results?
    2. why do some people do not see certain items?

    Hi,
    thanks for posting your query,
    Just wanted to give you one hint about content. Check out your contents are present in crawl log or not. If present then check your site search settings and scope using SCA section else crawl the content or site again then try out search.
    I hope this is helpful for you. If this works, Please mark it as Answered.

  • How to customize the SharePoint 2010 search query string parameters

    Hi All,
    I am trying to redirect default SharePoint search to a custom search results page.
    I modified the Search Settings to redirect to the URL that I want.
    But my custom search page takes different query string parameters to provide the results.
    Eg: SharePoint search passes k=search term when we perform a search. But my custom page needs
    test=search term
    I would like to pass 'test' instead of 'k' as a query string. Is this possible?
    Thanks
    Carol

    There is no way out of the box to change it.  You could always write your own control that passes the value or inherit from SearchBoxEx web part (if you are using a search center) to pass a different value.  Query String Filter web part won't
    help you here I am afraid.  However, wouldn't it be easier just to change your code to take the value that SharePoint passes you?
