  10. Recap: MOSS 2007 Search Deployment Redundant Query Servers, each holding copy of entire index (A) A A Index Server is not redundant = Bottleneck and single point of failure Single Property DB = Bottleneck and single point of failure A

  11. SP2010 Search Scale-Out • Multiple Query Servers • Partition index across multiple query servers • Mirror index for high availability • 100 mio. items with sub-second query latency • Multiple Crawlers (aka Index Servers) • Better crawl performance • Stateless, enabling failover • No copy of index on server, propagates indexed data to query servers • Multiple Property Databases • Minimize DB bottleneck known from SP2007

  12. SP2010 Search Deployment Partioned and Mirrored Index with 4xQuery + 2xProp. DB A A B B 2x2 Distributed Stateless Crawlers + 2xCrawl DB Admin Component + Admin DB

  13. Admin User Experience • Consolidated Dashboard • Quick overview of status and settings of a single search service application • Web part based page -> extensible • Admin reports for monitoring crawl rate and query latency over time • Web analytics reports for tracking search usage over time • Advanced monitoring through SCOM.

PowerShell Scripting • All Enterprise search admin operations are scriptable through 118 PowerShell cmdlets • Launch SharePoint 2010 Management Shell from the Windows Start menu on the server • Example command for creating a new Content Source for crawling a file share:New-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource -Name "Sample Content Source" -SearchApplication "Search Service Application" -Type file -StartAddress \\fileserver\fileshare

Search page points to Profile Page or custom page to show search result Search results page – results based on metadata Search user queries Connector Framework Architecture Search Engine/Index BDC Profile Pages or External Lists Search BDC Runtime Execution call routing through BDC Connectors using BDC model file Fetch data from repository WCF Databases .NET BDC Connector Custom BDC Connector Protocol Handlers
