You configure a SharePoint Server 2010 Service Pack 1 (SP1) server farm. The farm contains a single
Search service Application that has two index servers. The search index contains 3 million documents
that reside on the SharePoint farm and 2 million documents that reside on a network file server
named fileserver1. You attach a content database that contains 8 million documents. You make sites
from the database accessible on your farm. You grant Read permissions to anonymous users to read
all the content on these sites. You need to improve the performance of the search. You also need to
ensure that users can search the contents of the entire SharePoint farm from a single SearchCenter
site. What should you do?
A.
Add a new federated search location. In the Restrictions and Credentials Information section,
select the No restriction: All sites can use this location option.
B.
Add a new content source and specify its start address. Add a crawl schedule, and initiate a full
crawl.
C.
Add a second Search service Application and distribute the indexed content across the two index
servers,
D.
Add a new search scope at the service Application level. Add a scope rule that uses the Web
Address rule type.
E.
Add a new crawl rule and specify the path where the rule will App1y. In the Crawl Configuration
section, select the Exclude all items in this path option.
F.
Add a new index partition and distribute the existing index across the two index servers.
G.
Add a new search scope at the site administration level. Add a scope rule that uses the Content
Source rule type.
H.
Add a new crawl rule and specify the path where the rule will App1y. In the Crawl Configuration
section, select the Include all items in this path option.
Explanation:
In Microsoft SharePoint Server 2010 Search, index partitions are groups of query components, each
of which holds a subset of the full text index and which return search results to the query originator.
Each index partition is associated with a specific property database containing metadata associated
with a specific set of crawled content. You can distribute the load of query servicing by adding index
partitions to a Search Service Application and placing their query components on different farm
servers.
You can decide which servers in a farm will service queries by creating a query component on that
server. If you want to balance the load of servicing queries across multiple farm servers, add query
components to an index partition and associate them with the servers you want to service queries.
See Add or remove a query component for more information.
