Description

This cmdlet creates a result source. Use result sources to scope search results and federate queries to external sources, such as internet search engines. After defining a result source, configure search web parts and query rule actions to use it. Result Sources replace Search Scopes, which are now deprecated. This cmdlet supports the same create operations as are supported through the "Manage Result Sources" page in Central Administration, except the operations "Form Authentication" and "Cookie Authentication". For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Products, see the online documentation at SharePoint Server Cmdlets.

Examples

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

$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$owner = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchOwner -Level SSA
New-SPEnterpriseSearchResultSource -SearchApplication $ssa -Owner $owner -ProviderId fa947043-6046-4f97-9714-40d4c113963d -Name "Custom SharePoint Result Source"

This example creates a new search service application level result source, named "Custom SharePoint Result Source".

Parameters

-AssignmentCollection

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.

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.

-AuthenticationType

Specifies the authentication type of the new result source.

A specific set of authentication types are supported for each search provider type and, if parameter is not specified, the authentication type will default based on search provider type.

This cmdlet supports the following set of authentication mechanisms and corresponding types: Default SharePoint Authentication (FederationAuthType.LocalNTAuth), Basic Authentication (FederationAuthType.SingleAccountBasicAuth - specify UserName and Password), Default Remote SharePoint Authentication (FederationAuthType.PerUserBasicAuth), Single Sign On (FederationAuthType.SSO - requires SsoId to be specified), Anonymous (FederationAuthType.Anonymous), Digest Authentication (FederationAuthType.SingleAccountDigest - specify UserName and Password), NTLM Application Pool Identity (FederationAuthType.ApplicationPoolIdentity), NTLM User Name and Password (FederationAuthType.SingleAccountNTLM - specify UserName and Password).

When using a Local SharePoint Search/Local SharePoint People Search provider, then FederationAuthType.LocalNTAuth (default) and FederationAuthType.SingleAccountBasicAuth are supported.

When using a Remote SharePoint Search/Remote SharePoint People Search provider, then FederationAuthType.PerUserBasicAuth (default) and FederationAuthType.SSO are supported.
