In C# when retrieving the default SearchServiceApplication object you might do something like the following, if you were trying to initiate a new Schema object, for example:
SPServiceContext serviceContext = SPServiceContext.GetContext(SPContext.Current.Site); SearchServiceApplicationProxy searchApplicationProxy = serviceContext.GetDefaultProxy(typeof(SearchServiceApplicationProxy)) as SearchServiceApplicationProxy; Guid applicationId = searchApplicationProxy.GetSearchServiceApplicationInfo().SearchServiceApplicationId; SearchServiceApplication searchApplication = SearchService.Service.SearchApplications.GetValue<SearchServiceApplication>(applicationId); Schema schema = new Schema(searchApplication); |
If you’re looking to implement something similar in PowerShell, you don’t have to write quite as much code. Take a look at the following script, which achieves the same goal:
[System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("Microsoft.SharePoint"); $searchApplication = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication "Search Service Application" $schema = New-Object Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Administration.Schema($searchApplication); |
The call to Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication is all that’s required to retrieve the default SearchServiceApplication object.
Simples!
