SharePoint 2013 Hosting – HostForLIFE.eu :: How to Manage Search in SharePoint 2013 with Powershell
In this article I will show you How to Manage Search in SharePoint 2013 with Powershell. When you are operating with enterprise search at the farm level, moving configuration changes across development, staging, and production environments will become tedious. For my current project, I actually have an outsized quantity of managed properties, a couple of crawl rules and result sources. To alter deployments, i made a decision to automate the configuration changes through PowerShell scripts. as luck would have it there were a bunch of scripts already offered on the online that got me most of the manner. I started with those and additional increased them via XML configuration files to urge the subsequent scripts. The PowerShell and XML configuration files may be found here in our GitHub repository.
CreateCrawlRules.ps1
This scripts creates inclusion/exclusion crawl rules with relevant properties.
