Detailed Description

The New-SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataCategory cmdlet creates the new crawled property category. SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataCategory represents a category in the enterprise search metadata property schema.

Parameters

Parameter Required Type Description

Name

Required

System.String

Specifies the identity of the new metadata category.

The type must be a valid name of a metadata category (for example, MetadataCategory1).

SearchApplication

Required

Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Cmdlet.SearchServiceApplicationPipeBind

Specifies the search application that contains the enterprise search metadata property schema.

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.

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.

AutoCreateNewManagedProperties

Optional

System.Nullable

Specifies that new managed properties are mapped when new crawled properties in this category are found.

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

DiscoverNewProperties

Optional

Specifies that new properties in this category are discovered during a crawl.

MapToContents

Optional

System.Nullable

Specifies that string data from all crawled properties in this category is added to the full-text index catalog.

PropSet

Optional

System.Nullable

Creates the new metadata category with the specified property set.

The type must be a valid GUID that specifies the property set, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh.

WhatIf

Optional

System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter

Displays a message that describes the effect of the command instead of executing the command. For more information, type the following command: get-help about_commonparameters
