Detailed Description
The New-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication cmdlet is used when the search functionality is initially configured or when a new shared search application is added to a farm. SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication represents a self-contained aggregation of indexed content and properties available for search, and provides an anchor class for setting global search properties. A farm can include multiple search service applications.
Parameters
| Parameter | Required | Type | Description |
|---|---|---|---|
Name |
Required |
System.String |
Specifies the names of the new search application. The type must be a valid name of a search application; for example, SearchApp1. |
ApplicationPool |
Required |
Microsoft.SharePoint.PowerShell.SPIisWebServiceApplicationPoolPipeBind |
Specifies the IIS application pool to use for the new search application. The type must be a valid GUID, in the form 12345678-90ab-cdef-1234-567890bcdefgh; a valid URL of a search application, in the form http://server_name; or an instance of a valid SPIisWebServiceApplicationPool 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. |
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 |
DatabaseName |
Optional |
System.String |
Specifies the name of the database to create for the new search application. The type must be a valid name of a SQL Server database; for example, SearchAppDB1. |
DatabasePassword |
Optional |
System.String |
Specifies the password for the user ID that is used for accessing the search application database on SQL Server. The type must be a valid password. |
DatabaseServer |
Optional |
System.String |
Specifies the name of the host server for the database specified in DatabaseName. The type must be a valid SQL Server host name; for example, SQLServerHost1. |
DatabaseUsername |
Optional |
System.String |
Specifies the user ID to use for accessing the search application SQL Server database. The type must be a valid user name; for example, SearchUserName1. |
Partitioned |
Optional |
System.Management.Automation.SwitchParameter |
Specifies that the search service application uses Web-hosted mode. Web-hosted mode segregates results for a given hosted subscription. |
SearchApplicationType |
Optional |
System.Nullable |
Specifies that the search service application is used as a connector for an extended search application. |
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 |

Example
------------------EXAMPLE------------------
$appPool = New-SPServiceApplicationPool -name "SsaAppPool" -account contoso\adminUser
$ssa = New-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication -Name "NewSSA" -ApplicationPool $appPool
$searchInstance = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceInstance -Local
$ssa | get-SPEnterpriseSearchAdministrationComponent | set-SPEnterpriseSearchAdministrationComponent -SearchServiceInstance $searchInstance
$ssa | Get-SPEnterpriseSearchAdministrationComponent
This example creates a new search service application named NewSSA in a new application pool and initializes its administration component. A search service application created in this way will have active query and crawl topologies, but no query or crawl components.
