History of Prepare query suggestion timer job run

  • Article

Hello All,

I was troubleshooting an issue where the Prepare Query suggestion timer job was taking a long time to execute and we wanted to output the history of the job run from across all servers in the farm and see how long the timer job took to execute.

Below command will give you that

$sug=get-sptimerjob -type Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.PrepareQuerySuggestionsJobDefinition

$sug.historyentries

Below sample of just one enty- In my env I saw entries, as far back as 10 days.
