For cases in which file permissions are not appropriate, you can delete particular items from the search index or from search results. Therefore, to ensure that only appropriate items appear in search results, make sure that the permissions for files on file shares are appropriate. Security note: When the Search service crawls a file share, if the permissions on a file on the share are different from the permissions on folders that contain the file, then the permissions on the file take precedence and are used for security trimming of search results.

For example, you can create a content source that contains start addresses for SharePoint sites and another content source that contains start addresses for file shares, but you cannot create a single content source that contains start addresses to both SharePoint sites and file shares. You can crawl only one kind of content per content source. Each content source can contain up to 100 start addresses. Therefore, we recommend that you create the smallest number of content sources that satisfy your other operational requirements, such as differences in crawl priority and crawl scheduling.

You can create a large number of content sources in each Search service application, but there is overhead associated with each content source. Keep some types of content fresher than others Set different priorities for crawling different sites Limit or increase the quantity of content that is crawled Plan to create additional content sources when you have to do the following:Ĭrawl different types of content - for example, file shares and data in a line-of-business applicationĬrawl some content on different schedules than other content However, if you have different types of content or unique requirements per host, you might want to define multiple content sources. If you have only one type of content (for example, all content is of type SharePoint sites or type file shares), you might need only one content source.

Plan content sourcesĪ content source is a definition of a group of crawl settings such as which hosts to crawl, the type of content that will be crawled (such as SharePoint content or file shares), a crawl schedule, and how deep to crawl. The process of getting search results from an external provider and displaying the results locally is called federation. You can also configure the Search system to display search results from an external provider (such as Bing) alongside the results from the local search index. When you crawl content, the Search service builds a search index that users can run queries (search requests) against.
