• User education is key. Set firm guidelines about what type of content users can
post, and tackle their privacy concerns by using permissions and policies to
help secure content.
• Consider deploying social computing features a little at a time. Configure user
profiles and My Site Web sites, and then establish a tagging culture. Include
wikis and blogs where useful.

9-2 Designing a Microsoft® SharePoint® 2010 Infrastructure
Module Overview

Search is a very important feature of Microsoft® SharePoint® 2010, which is
implemented as a service application. Most organizations cite the ability to find
content from all over their enterprise environment as a reason to consider
implementing SharePoint. The search facility applies both to new content

uploaded to SharePoint and to content from other locations, such as file shares or
Microsoft Exchange public folders, or other line-of-business (LOB) applications.
This enables an organization to present SharePoint as a single interface to many
different content repositories. Even if something is not stored in SharePoint, users
can still find it by using SharePoint.
SharePoint now offers improved search integration with computers running
Windows® 7, so this can become a natural extension of how users reach the
content that they need.

Objectives
After completing this module, you will be able to:
• Describe the search architecture and process in SharePoint 2010.
• Describe the topologies that are available in SharePoint 2010 to service a range
of search requirements across business models.
• Plan and document enterprise search for capacity and performance.
• Describe how to map business requirements to the SharePoint Enterprise and
FAST search architectures.

Lesson 1
Overview of SharePoint 2010 Search
Architecture

Before you plan or design search requirements and support for your SharePoint
farm, you must understand how the search feature in SharePoint builds a content
index for searching. The search service application includes many components.

Understanding how SharePoint uses these components will help you to identify
which components you may need to implement, scale up, or scale out, to meet
different business requirements.
Objectives
After completing this lesson, you will be able to:
• Identify the licensing requirements for SharePoint search.
• Identify crawl, query, and database components that SharePoint search
requires.

• Identify the high-level crawl process.
• Configure crawl behavior.
• Plan security accounts for SharePoint search.
• Plan search federation.

SharePoint 2010 Licensing and Search

Key Points
SharePoint 2010 is available in various editions, with various feature sets. Specific
feature sets require specific licensing. You must understand how licensing affects
SharePoint search and how to license search options when you are planning to
implement SharePoint search in your environment.
SharePoint 2010 requires both server licenses and client access licenses (CALs).
CALs can apply either per user or per device depending on the user access
requirements in the organization. In addition, CALs are available as standard CALs
or enterprise CALs. Standard CALs license users for standard features in

SharePoint 2010, such as collaboration, publishing, or My Sites. Enterprise CALs
license users to use enterprise features such as Excel Services, Visio Services, or
InfoPath Forms.

Note: Enterprise CALs are cumulative. This means that if 1,000 users require enterprise
features, you will need 1,000 standard CALs and 1,000 enterprise CALs.

Standard CALs for SharePoint Server 2010 include SharePoint enterprise search
functionality. This includes the ability to index diverse content sources, including:
• SharePoint content
• Web site content
• File share content
• Exchange public folder content
• Other database content

You can also scale out the SharePoint search server topology to maintain search
performance.
Depending on your licensing configuration, SharePoint Server 2010 also has FAST
search capabilities. To implement FAST search for SharePoint 2010, you require:
• SharePoint server licenses.
• A FAST search server license for any servers running FAST search.
• Enterprise CALs for any users using FAST search.

FAST search includes the following benefits:
• Support for 500 million items.
• Visual best bets (HTML rendering).
• Sort on any indexed property.
• The ability to preview Microsoft Word or Microsoft PowerPoint® documents
on the results page.

• Deep refinement showing count by property refinement.
• The ability to document thumbnails on the results page.
• FAST search Web Parts.
• Manual promotion or demotion of specific results.
• Relevancy profiles to show different results ranking to different users.
• Multilingual search controls.

Note: FAST search uses SharePoint search to index user profile data and perform People
Search queries. This means that FAST search complements SharePoint search, but does
not replace SharePoint search.
