How to Configure the Search Service in SharePoint 2010

The process of setting up your SharePoint 2010 search box step-by-step

1. We need to first start the search service application in Central Admin.
2. Go to Application Management -> Manage service application.

3. Then start a new “Search Service Application.”

4. Provide the application name, in this case “Service Search Application.”

5. Provide a search service account.




6. Configure application pools for both the “Search Admin Web Service” and the “Search Query and Site Settings Web Service.”




7. Click “OK” and wait for SharePoint to process the request. This may take several minutes.



8. A message will then appear if the search service application was successfully created.


9. OK, the search service application has been created, now we need to do some configuration work.

10. Once again, go to Application Management -> Manage service applications.


11. Select “Search Service Application,” then click the “Administrators“ ribbon button to configure the search service for administrators.

12. Select “SearchAdmin.” This is the service account we previously created in the search service application.

13. Now to assign the permissions.


14. Almost done, go to Search Service Application -> Content Sources and select “Start all crawls.”

Publishing SharePoint List InfoPath Form to a new location

Needed to move it from Dev to Production. File > Publish > Export Source Files. Close InfoPath Go to folder where Source Files are saved, open Manifest.xsf.  Find all instances of the URL and replace them with the new URL - there should be five. If you have secondary data connections, update those also. I use Notepad++ and “replace all” so it just takes a second.  Save the manifest.xsf file and close. Now right click on the manifest.xsf and select Design to open it back up in InfoPath.  Click on File >Publish and verify the URL is correct in the “Publish form to a SharePoint List” section”.
