Get-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScope

Reference

Module:: SharePointServer

Applies to:: SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019

Returns a query results scope.

Syntax

Get-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScope
   [[-Identity] <ScopePipeBind>]
   -SearchApplication <SearchServiceApplicationPipeBind>
   [-AssignmentCollection <SPAssignmentCollection>]
   [-Url <Uri>]
   [<CommonParameters>]

Description

The Get-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScope cmdlet reads a QueryScope object when the shared scope is created or deleted, or when the definition of the shared scope is updated.

If the Identity parameter is not specified, this cmdlet returns the query scope collection from the specified search application.

In SharePoint Server, result sources provide the functionality that scopes provided in SharePoint Server.

During an upgrade from SharePoint Server, to retain legacy settings, shared scopes are automatically migrated. However, these scopes are read-only after the migration. This cmdlet can be used to read a shared scope that has been migrated.

During an upgrade from SharePoint Server, to preserve legacy settings, local scopes are also automatically migrated when the corresponding sites or site collections are migrated. In a SharePoint Server farm, the scopes of a site or site collection that is in SharePoint Server mode are read-write, whereas the scopes of a site or site collection after upgrade to SharePoint Server mode are read-only. This cmdlet can be used to read a migrated local scope in either situation.

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 -Identity 'Search service Application'
Get-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScope -Identity MustCrawl -SearchApplication $ssa | Set-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScope -Description "Business critical sites to index" -CompilationType 1 -AlternateResultsPage https://altServer

This example obtains a reference to the scope named MustCrawl on the search application named MySSA, and changes the description, compilation type, and alternate access URL.

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.
