as per the requirements. Content types for content sources might be SharePoint
site or web or Files that associated with in SharePoint environment.
To create a content source based on a web content type we
can use the following script,
$contentSourceName = “Name
of the content source to be configured”;
$siteUrl = “URL of the
Site”;
$ssa=Get-SPEnterPriseSearchServiceApplication
-Identity $xmlData.SSAName;
$ssaContent =
new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Content($ssa);
if($myType -eq “Web”){
$webContentSource=$ssaContent.ContentSources.Create([Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.WebContentSource],
$contentSourceName);
$webContentSource.startAddresses.Add($siteUrl);
}
Here $myType is content type
To create a content source based on a SharePoint content
type we can use the following script,
$contentSourceName = “Name
of the content source to be configured”;
$siteUrl = “URL of the
Site”;
$ssa=Get-SPEnterPriseSearchServiceApplication
-Identity $xmlData.SSAName
$ssaContent =
new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Content($ssa)
if($myType -eq “SharePoint”){
$sharepointContentSource=$ssaContent.ContentSources.Create([Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SharePointContentSource],
$contentSourceName);
$sharepointContentSource.startAddresses.Add($siteUrl);
}
To create a content source based on a File content type we
can use the following script,
$contentSourceName = “Name
of the content source to be configured”;
$siteUrl = “URL of the
Site”;
$ssa=Get-SPEnterPriseSearchServiceApplication
-Identity $xmlData.SSAName
$ssaContent =
new-object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Content($ssa)
if($myType -eq “File”){
$fileContentSource=$ssaContent.ContentSources.Create([Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.SharePointContentSource],
$contentSourceName);
$fileContentSource.startAddresses.Add($siteUrl);
