The crawlers while indexing such repositories have to preserve the case of the discovered links to keep them valid.

SharePoint Search 2010 in a Small Scale Farm - Hardware - Micros. Hello, my name is Hernando Silva and, as some of you might know from Dan's previous posts , for the last year I participated in the planning, deployment and management of the SharePoint 2010 Search service at a small scale.

In this post I will begin to introduce you to our Divisional (a.k.a. Departmental) farm for the Office organization. This deployment was intentionally planned to be oversized to make sure that it would scale to accommodate pre-released builds of SharePoint 2010 and other products (see the capacity planning document for the definition of a Divisional Portal and, also, take a look at this case study for more details about this specific deployment). In working with Dan in this series of posts, I hope to provide additional knowledge based on what we learned in some of the smaller scale deployments. We wanted to use this farm to ensure that we would satisfy our goals for query latency and crawl freshness, on a deployment of this scale.

Automated sitemap creation to make your SharePoint 2010 public site more searchable « Yaroslav Pentsarskyy's SharePoint adventures. In my last article we started on a subject of making your site more searchable and covered all the concepts of creating an XML sitemap. In this part I will dig into implementing site crawl using custom SharePoint 2010 service job. One way of using service job is that you can schedule (and change the schedule) of how often is your site crawled and you get a nice report of your crawls being executed.

The interface for the service job was there since MOSS – in 2010 we have few improvements including an out-of-the-box UI to change the schedule or force running the job. Each job will have it’s feature that will take care of installing a job; there is also an execution class that will define the job and what it’s supposed to do.

In this article we will create a job and actual crawling mechanism will be implemented in a last part of this article series. Let’s get started. 1.In your Visual Studio structure, locate the Features folder and create a new feature in it. using System.Diagnostics; try 7. 8.
