This demonstration illustrates the sequence of events that occurs when you initiate a full crawl. The video shows the following events:

• Replication of content source data to the search registry hive on each crawl server
  
  
• Crawling of Web sites and SharePoint site structures
  
  
• Processing by the content processing pipeline, including word breakers, IFilters, and indexing
  
  
• Replication of the index to query servers
  
  

The scenario depicted assumes a single crawl database and a single index partition.

Running time: 4:06
