Sharepoint 2013 search component best practice

hi
With a big SharePoint 2013 farm:
2 WFE
2 App server
2 Search App server (havent set up these servers yet)
What would the best way to divide the search componment between the two serarch app servers?
Crawl component
Crawls content sources to collect crawled properties and metadata from crawled items and sends this information to the content processing component.
Content processing component
Transforms the crawled items and sends them to the index component. This component also maps crawled properties to managed properties.
Analytics processing component
Carries out search analytics and usage analytics.
Index component
Receives the processed items from the content processing component and writes them to the search index. This component also handles incoming queries, retrieves information from the search index and sends back the
result set to the query processing component.
Query processing component
Analyzes incoming queries. This helps optimize precision, recall and relevance. The queries are sent to the index component, which returns a set of search results for the query.
Search administration component
Runs the system processes for search, and adds and initializes new instances of search components.
If you ignore the need for redunancy (we may add another 2 search app servers for that later).

Hi Bjorn,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to deploy the search components in two search app servers.
It depends on how many search service applications you need and the size of your environment.
Here is a link about how to configure topology for one search service application with multiple search components across 2 servers for redundancy and performance:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/chandru/archive/2013/02/19/sharepoint-2013-configuring-search-service-application-and-topology-using-powershell.aspx
You can also run the Query Processing component in web front server and run the other components in the search servers or application servers.
Please refer to the link below:

Sharepoint 2013 - Search service not working

We have set the search service application to crawl incrementally. The crawls are taking a long time. The content is not vast over the single farm but we do have a few sizable document libraries, lists and media assets. Suggestions as to what to check
again first? Screen shot of the search admin page.

Hi,
According to your post, my understanding is that Search service failed to work in SharePoint 2013.
The cause is that Accounts that are used by application pools or services are members of the Administrators group on the local computer.
I recommend to change the user account to a predefined account, or to a domain user account that is not a member of the Administrators group.

Trying to link SharePoint 2010 Enterprise with SharePoint 2013 Search Server raises error

Hi,
I am currently working for a multinational who has SharePoint 2010 Enterprise Edition installed, 2 WFE SERVERS, 3 APP SERVERS, 1 DB SERVER. They also installed SharePoint 2013 Exterprise recently.
   Microsoft have recently come in and set up the SharePoint 2013 Search Server to crawl content in SharePoint 2010 as the replacement search to SharePoint 2010 Search. So they have gone through process of certificates and permissions
setups I guess. I was told it was working, but recently failed. When I type in the search box on a web site for SharePoint 2010 I get the message:
         The search request was unable to connect to the Search Service.
I checked the Event log and the Critical error (in Task Category:Timer) I get is the notorious:
The Execute method of job definition Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.CrawlReportJobDefinition (ID fa882704-80d9-415b-9b9d-eae5e9bdefd4) threw an exception. More information is included below.
        The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration
        component. Verify that the administration component 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-
        e5431a180c2b' in search application 'Search_Service_Application' is in a good state and
        try again.
I know administration component is the crawler. I am assuming this is permissions.
The SharePoint 2013 Search Server is picking up SharePoint 2010 site collections items fine i.e. The SharePoint 2013 search shows items from 2010 as expected.
On the SharePoint 2010 central admin box the search service enabled and running (checked with powershell). (SharePoint Server Search 14)
The Search Service id: e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5432a180c2b
I also get the message in event log for gatherer on SharePoint 2010 CA and Search Server:
       Could not access the Search database. A generic error occurred while trying to access the database to obtain
       the schema version info.
       Context: Application 'e9172a05-22ec-4904-9508-e5431a180c2b'
Details:
            (0x80040e09)
Is this permissions to delete something from crawler??????
I would appreciate if someone could help on this. I have tried to be as concise as possible.
Thanks.
John.

It was a case that someone had fiddled with the Service App Associations. Hadn't ticked SharePoint 2013 search. Was still point at 2010. Thanks.
The SharePoint 2013 Search works correctly for SharePoint 2010.
Can someone confirm that the Search Service Application on SharePoint 2010 still needs to exist and hence SharePoint Server Search 14 Service still needs to be running? I am guessing it would as you search from 2010 interface not 2013. I am getting a critical
error in the Event Viewer:
CrawlReportJobDefinition (Id <SharePoint 2010 Crawler>)
The search service is not able to connect to the machine that hosts the administration component. Verify that the administration component <crawler id> in search application "Search Service Application" is in a good state and try
again.
I think this is related to the fact we have SharePoint 2013 doing the search instead of 2010.
Any ideas?
John.

Office Web Apps - Preview Sharepoint 2010 documents in Sharepoint 2013 Search Results...again

Hi,
I found a thread in this forum With an answere to a similiar question here:

...With the answere:
"OWA uses an access token to talk to SharePoint 2013. It cannot use this when talking to 2010. In order to work with 2010, you have to create a custom display template that converts the file url to an openurl link. "
BUT...
may anyone give more information how to do this?
Links to articles? Links to description and samples?

Hi,
According to your description, my understanding is that you want to preview documents from SharePoint 2010 in search results in SharePoint 2013.
Per my knowledge, the Office Web Apps is configured to work with SharePoint 2013, so it will not work with documents in SharePoint 2010.
I recommend to configure Office Web Apps to work with SharePoint 2010
and make sure that documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2010 using Office Web Apps to see if the documents can be previewed in SharePoint 2013 search result.

Stemming not working on SharePoint 2013 Search

We have SharePoint search enabled on our farm. There are close to 20 million items in the farm. Looking through the logs and user's feedback, we were able to find that the stemming feature is not actually working
When i search for "Order" i couldnt see a document whose title contains ordering in the search result.
This is horrible. Am i missing any thing??

Hi,
Stemming means that nouns and adjectives in a query are expanded to different possible inflections. Stemming essentially performs searches for words that share the same stem. Stemming in SharePoint 2013 is enabled by default.
You can export your Search Result Web Part and Open the Web Part in a text editor, then verify whether the value for EnableStemming is ture.

If Condition in Keyword Query Language (SharePoint 2013 Search Results)

Hi All,
Can we have an "If" condition in Query text box in SharePoint 2013 Search results page. For example, i want to hide all list items whose
status is "HideItem" from appearing in search results?
I am trying this: {?{searchTerms} (contentclass:STS_ListItem -ListItemStatus:"HideItem")}
But, this hides all items like aspx pages, pdf's, docs and displays only list items.
Similarly, hide pages of some name like: AllItems.aspx, ViewDetails.aspx, AllAssets.aspx
{?{searchTerms} (contentclass:STS_ListItem_850 -filename:"AllItems.aspx")}
Any help would be great. Thanks in advance.

Thanks Steve. I found this solution after a bit of struggle :).
Also, date comparision is not working as expected.
{?{searchTerms} NOT(contentclass:STS_ListItem AND ListItemStatus:"HideItem" AND
PublishDate<{Today})} is not working and throwing syntax error.
I don't see any solid reference to KQL syntax except this msdn link.
Can you please suggest any good material on KQL syntax ?
Thank you once again.

on the server.
and when i click on Crawl Log and content source

The search service is currently offline. Visit the Services on Server page in SharePoint Central Administration to verify whether

As of now search service application is online and search is working.But not sure why it throws the above error.
I have restarted timer service,search service in services.msc and cleared the sharepoint cache as well.

Please try below mentioned steps:
1. Central Administration > Monitoring > Review job definitions > Look for following timer job "Application Server Administration Service Timer Job" > Disable
2. Then open windows administrative services (services.msc), stop SharePoint Timer Service
3. Clear SharePoint Timer configuration cache by following steps mentioned in below blog:
http://blogs.msdn.com/b/jamesway/archive/2011/05/23/sharepoint-2010-clearing-the-configuration-cache.aspx
4. Start SharePoint Timer Service and give it a few seconds so that the new XML files from the location you deleted then are re-populated.

SharePoint 2013 Search - Zip - Parser server ran out of memory - Processing this item failed because of a IFilter parser error

SharePoint 2013 in a single instance out-of-the-box. Didn't install custom iFilters as 2013 supports zip. No other extensions have this issue. Range in file size from 60-90MB per zip. They contain mp3 files. I can download and unzip the file as needed.
Should I care that the index isn't being populated with these items since they contain no metadata? I am thinking I should just omit these from the crawl.

This issue came back up for me as my results aren't displaying since this data is not part of the search index.
Curious if anyone knows of a way to increase the parser server memory in SharePoint 2013 search?

Office Web Apps - Preview Sharepoint 2010 documents in Sharepoint 2013 Search Results

Hi,
We have a Sharepoint 2013 search site collection. The content sources for the Search service application includes some Sharepoint 2010 sites. We also have Office Web Apps server deployed. When searching for documents, the OWA preview works for all the document
in local sharepoint 2013 farm. However document preview doesn't work for documents in the sharepoint 2010 farm.
Any idea why this happens?
Regards,
Muthu

Could you please elaborate more on open url / please give us some syntax how to use that is display template?
When we use open url do we still need to install office webapps in the 2010 environment?

Sharepoint 2010 searchbox class name ="ms-sbplain"
what is Sharepoint 2013 searchbox class name ?? i added "ms-textLarge" as class name but it didn't work.
Thanks in advance.

Hi M.M,
The class for SharePoint 2013 Search box input element is as follow, please check if it is what you want.
class="ms-textLarge ms-srch-sbLarge-fullWidth ms-srch-sb-prompt ms-helperText"
The project code you are using is updated in codeplex, and the query suggestions (similar to this autocomplete) is an OOB feature in SharePoint 2013 enterprise verison, you can take a look.

Hi kukdai,
To use result source or query rule to distinguish search results, besides adding custom search vertical, you could also consider using result block:

Quote:
In SharePoint, result block will display the search results as a group. We can promote result block depending on the query condition as specific result. While configuring query conditions for results block, we can use query variables. We can specify query
variables as place holders for unknown values in SharePoint query.
Then we can use Path in query rule to divide search results into several web applications.

Hi cagman,
Please make sure Search Host Controller Service, Search Query and Site Settings Service, SharePoint Server Search are started on manange services on server.
Then check the Search service application, and make sure search application topology is ok.
Then reset Index, and run a full crawl. After crawling, search again, compare the result.
In addition, here are some similar posts, please check if they are useful for you:
