Writing SharePoint 2013 feels very new to me, but I created my first Demo environment and tried to set up search. What needs to be done? 14 steps for a simple Search Topology - 1 powershell can do them all. Create a Service Application Pool for the Search Service Application (15-22) Create a Search Service Application (22-28) Create a Search Service Application Proxy (30-36) Get the current Search Instance (38) Save the current Search Topology for later use (39) Create a new Search Topology (40) Create all the Search Components (Analytics- , Content Processing, Query Processing, Crawler-, Admin Component) (42-46) Remove the Index-Folder and recreate it (50-51) Create a new Index Component (53) Activate the new Topology (56) Call the method synchronize on the old topology - this errors but forces an update on the old topology object (59) The “forced updated” Topology object becomes inactive and can be deleted.
