Parameters
1Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
Parameter | Required | Type | Description | ||
Name | Required | System.String | Specifies the new Search application name. | ||
ApplicationPool | Required | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPIisWebServiceApplicationPoolPipeBind | Specifies the application pool for the query web service. | ||
AdminSearchServiceInstance | Optional | Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Cmdlet.SearchServiceInstancePipeBind | Specifies the search service instance to be used with the administration component. | ||
AssignmentCollection | Optional | Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPAssignmentCollection | Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal.

Detailed Description
This cmdlet contains more than one parameter set. You may only use parameters from one parameter set, and you may not combine parameters from different parameter sets. For more information about how to use parameter sets, see Cmdlet Parameter Sets.
This cmdlet is used by third parties to create a search application that uses existing data.
Some third parties back up the application data and have to restore the application later. So, the data is restored and uses the Restore-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication cmdlet to create a new search application that uses the restored data.
This cmdlet supports parameter sets. The first set of parameters is for Application Configuration Attach mode and the second set of parameters is for Search Application Attach mode.
Application Configuration Attach mode only restores configuration data that is stored in the administration database. However, Search Application Attach restores configuration, topology and all crawled data.
Input Types
Return Types
-------------EXAMPLE 1--------------
$searchInstance = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance –local
$applicationPool = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name “SearchServiceApplicationPool” -Account “domain\username”
Restore-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Name "SearchServiceApplication" -ApplicationPool $applicationPool -AdminSearchServiceInstance $searchInstance -DatabaseName "SearchServiceApplication_Admindb" -DatabaseServer "SQLServer1"
This example uses Application Configuration Attach mode to restore configuration data.
-------------EXAMPLE 2--------------
$applicationPool = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -Name “SearchServiceApplicationPool” -Account “domain\username”
Restore-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Name "SearchServiceApplication" -ApplicationPool $applicationPool –TopologyFile "C:\TopologyFile.xml"
This example uses Search Application Attach mode to restore topology data in the file that is named topology.xml.
