Configuring site collection search - sharepoint 2013

I'm taking over a web farm and unfortunately the search application(Global Search Center URL) was configured as if there was only going to be one web application.What was done is the url
http:/server/searchcenter/pages
was customized i mean the look for this particular web application.
Now the thing is the URL that was added to the Global Search Center URL was :`
http:/server /searchcenter/pages.`
So right now when i create new web apps all the searches gets redirected to this url which was customized for the
`http://server
web app.
What would be the best approach to have each web app have its own search center for all the scopes:
Everything
people
conversations
Would i also need to crawl each resource individually?
Thanks in Advance

I would say create another service application and set attach it to the other web apps

  • How can I create a new Host Url Site Collection in SharePoint 2013?

    Hi,
    This may sound really daft, but someone is trying to create a new Team Site Host Url Site Collection. We have the one Web Application at
    http://main and all site collections sit underneath. When we try and create a new Site Collection we have URL set as
    http://main/sites.  Our new site should be
    http://newsite. I tried to remove root and sites from http://main managed paths and you can't do it.
    Is it just me, but do you have to create a web application. Create Site collection for that web application and then move to under
    http://main like a SharePoint 2010 migration?
    Help Appreciated.
    John. 

    In that scenario, you would need to create a new Web Application, yes. There is another function called Host-named Site Collections which would get you what you want, but it takes a bit of work:

  • Using microsoft.sharepoint.client.search.analytics to report the monthly hit count of site collections on SharePoint Online

    Is it possible to use microsoft.sharepoint.client.search.analytics to report the monthly hit count of site collections on SharePoint Online.
    GetHitCountForDay()
    GetHitCountForMonth()
    If yes, how can this be called and executed successfully from a Console application using the Client Object Model.

  • Building Site Collections in SharePoint Online

    Hello all,
    Please forgive me for this very basic question, but I was not able to find the info online. 
    Background info: I have a great deal of experience with SharePoint administration on-prem but not much experience with SharePoint Online. My current organization has O365 and wants to build a collaboration environment and an Intranet. I understand the information
    architecture practices that would have been common for this for an on-prem environment, and I understand that those have changed with 2013 and SharePoint Online due to the new practice of organizing everything under one web app. 
    Between reading some articles and using my experience with on-prem, I am trying to design an organized information architecture that will facilitate both environments and the permissions structures they require. My tentative plan was to build one site collection
    for the Intranet under https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/sites (under which subsites would be built for various Intranet divisions), and then a number of individual site collections for the collaboration environment under https://mycompany.sharepoint.com/teams
    (/hr, /finance, etc., so that content owners and users could work in their own site collection without affecting a site collection belonging to someone else). 
    This is the article that initially caused me to believe that this is possible/a good idea: http://blogs.msdn.com/b/richard_dizeregas_blog/archive/2014/09/01/sharepoint-online-information-architecture-considerations.aspx. 
    "For [managed paths] you get the root, /search (explicit managed path), /sites (wildcard managed path), and /teams (wildcard managed path)."
    However this article leads me to believe that I will not be allowed to create any site collections at all, only subsites: https://support.office.com/en-us/article/Plan-sites-and-manage-users-8e568d8d-3d65-42c4-99fa-f7285c9db842. 
    "You cannot create additional site collections in SharePoint Online for Office 365 for Small Business."
    I understand the answer to this may depend on what version of O365 we have, and I am working to find that out. 
    My understanding is that I cannot be made a SharePoint Online administrator without being a global O365 administrator: http://blogs.technet.com/b/lystavlen/archive/2012/06/14/understanding-the-administrator-role-in-sharepoint-online.aspx.
    "You cannot separate the roles of Office 365 global administrator and SharePoint Online Administrator." 
    Thus, I don't currently have the level of access I need to browse around the administration area and find the answers to my questions that way. When the time comes, I will likely be given temporary access or will be working with an O365 global administrator
    to build.
    Main question: Will I be allowed to build site collections under managed paths?
    Larger question: How are others managing the information architecture for an Intranet and a Collaboration environment in SharePoint Online, especially if the answer to the prior question is no?
    Thanks in advance for any insight you can offer.

    Hi,
    According to the error message, the Microsoft.Online.SharePoint.Client.Tenant.dll seems not been loaded.
    You can find it in the path below:

  • Authoring and Publishing site collection in SharePoint Online

    Hi ,
    Can we have multiple authoring and publishing site collection in SharePoint Online?
    Thanks, Kaviya (Please remember to click “Mark as Answer” on the post that helps you)

    Yes you can use SharePoint 2013 cross-site publishing feature in SharePoint Online to support 1:1 and 1:n set up of authoring : publishing site-collections in SharePoint Online. The catch is that it all needs to be within same tenant.

  • Office Web Apps 2010 on SharePoint 2010 site running in SharePoint 2013?

    We're in the process of moving a SharePoint 2010 site over to SharePoint 2013.  The SharePoint 2010 site is using classic authentication, and it's not in scope to update this to claims-based authentication.
    I'd like to continue running the site in SharePoint 2010 mode without upgrading it to 2013.  In this case, can I continue to use Office Web Apps 2010 for this SP2010 site?  I've already installed Office Web Apps 2013 on another server but just
    read that it needs claims-based authentication.

    If you want to use OWA once the site has been moved to 2013 you will need to change the web application to use Claims. OWA in 2013 requires that and will not work in classic mode.

  • Backup - Restore process of a Site Collection in SharePoint Online

    Hi, I have a couple of questions. 
    1) What do I have to do to get a backup-restore of a site collection in SharePoint Online? 
    2) Can I myself perform a backup-restore or just backup a site collection without using any 3rd party tool?
    Any inputs on these will be helpful. Thanks in advance!

    Hi,
    what you can instead of backup and restore site is to save it as template, check this thread

    Hi All
    I'm using Office365. And I wanted to delete a Site Collection from SharePoint admin center.
    But at first, I couldn't delete it from there. So I opened the Site and delete it from the Site setting successfully.
    Then I went back to SharePoint admin center to check it was deleted or not completely.
    But the Site Collection was still on the Site Collections list.....
    Things I did are
    1. IE -> Tools->Internet Options-> In General Tab click on Delete in browsing history section and check all options and again click on delete.
    2. Close and re-open the browser and sign back in
    I wanna make free server resource to create new Site Collection.
    Does anyone know how to delete a Site Collection completely?

    Hi,
    Can you try delete the site collection using SharePoint online power shell command? Refer the following link for that.
    Delete site collection
    Also, while deleting site collection from Admin Center, do you get any warning?Or what are steps you follow to delete the Site Collection from Admin Center?

  • SharePoint 2013 site collection search not working but data is indexed correctly.

    I am currently having issues with the default search box on a site. No matter what I type in I can not get it to display any information. However, I see the content indexed in the search admin console. I created a new site with the Basic Search Template
    and I am able to return items in the site using this site page.
    I am looking at http://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/jj683115.aspx#BKMK_CreateResutlSource and I must be missing something or doing something wrong because on the site features or site collection features I do not have these settings

  • Error Accessing Host Named Site Collections In SharePoint Foundation 2013

    We have a new SharePoint Foundation 2013 server that has one web application two host named site collections. We get the "This page can't be displayed" message when we try to navigate to either of the site collections. Adding the server's IP to
    the host file on the machine we are testing from doesn't help. We can ping the new sites from that machine. The web application does not have a host header.
    Web application URL = http://servername
    Site collection #1 URL = http://customer.company.com
    Site collection #2 URL = http://vendor.company.com

    Hi,
    I recommend to verify the things below:
    Check if site can be accessed with site collection administrator.
    Add the SharePoint sites to a trusted zone to see if the issue still occurs.
    As this issue can be caused by many reasons, you may check the ULS log for more detailed errors.
    For SharePoint 2013, by default, ULS log is at C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\15\LOGS.
