Important

You must be a farm administrator to complete this procedure.

Farm administrators can specify the amount of time they want the server to wait while connecting to other services, and how long the server will wait for a request for content to be acknowledged. If you add content sources to crawl servers that you know are slow, you can configure the time-out settings as a proactive measure or you can change the time-out settings at any time that you discover a performance related problem.

Use this procedure to specify the time-out settings for the Office SharePoint Server Search service.
