Applies to: SharePoint Server 2010

Creates a new full text index.

Syntax

New-FASTSearchMetadataFullTextIndex -Description <String> -Name <String>

Detailed Description

This cmdlet creates a new full text index in Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint. A full text index can be searched by specifying the full text index name in a query. For example: ”extracontent:car” searches for the term “car” in the full text index named “extracontent”. If no full text index is specified, the default full text index is used. A relevancy score is calculated when searching the full text index, according to the rank profile specified in the query (or the default rank profile, if no rank profile is specified).

See Set-FASTSearchMetadataFullTextIndex for details about changing the default full text index for searching.

See Set-FASTSearchMetadataRankProfile for more details about rank profiles.

Use New-FASTSearchMetadataFullTextIndexMapping to create mappings from managed properties to a new full text index.
