Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Identity

Required

Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Cmdlet.ScopePipeBind

Specifies the identity of the scope to create.

The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid name of a scope (for example, Scope1); or an instance of a valid Scope object.

AlternateResultsPage

Required

System.String

Specifies the location to display results for the new query scope.

The type must be a valid URL, in the form http://server_name.

AssignmentCollection

Optional

Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection

Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.

Note

When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.

CompilationType

Optional

System.Nullable

Specifies the compilation type of the new scope. The value 0 specifies the conditionally compiled scope type, and the value 1 specifies the always compiled scope type.

The type must be either of the following: 0 or 1.

Confirm

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Prompts you for confirmation before executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters

Description

Optional

System.String

Adds a description of the new query scope.

The type must be a valid string; for example, a description of a query scope.

DisplayInAdminUI

Optional

System.Nullable

Specifies that the new scope is displayed in the administration application user interface (UI). The default setting is to hide the new scope in the administration application UI.

Name

Optional

System.String

Specifies a name for the query scope.

The type must be a valid name of a query scope; for example, QueryScope1.

SearchApplication

Optional

Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Cmdlet.SearchServiceApplicationPipeBind

Specifies the search application that contains the query scope collection.

The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid search application name (for example, SearchApp1); or an instance of a valid SearchServiceApplication object.

Url

Optional

System.Uri

Filters to delete scopes for the specified results URL.

The type must be a valid URL, in the form http://server_name.

Example

------------------EXAMPLE------------------

$ssa = Get-SPenterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Identity MySSA
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScope -Identity MustCrawl -SearchApplication $ssa | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScope -Description "Business critical sites to index" -CompilationType 1 -AlternateResultsPage http://altServer
