SharePoint 2013 Search Architecture
Public API
Unit of scale/role boundary
Access Considerations
eDiscovery does not override search security filtering
Users responsible for eDiscovery need to have permissions to the
select content
Grant users access using a web application user policy
Add users as a site collection administrator
For file shares, this must be done at the file share level
Use Groups instead of users
Access to the group(s) can be controlled easier than adding individual
users
Prevents search from needing to reindex items
Don’t forget the crawl log
Access to the crawl log needed for items that could not be indexed
Storage Considerations
In-Place Holds
Preservation Libraries only created when content is edited –
documents, pages, lists
Two places where queries can be made
Rate of disk increase will be dependent on rate of change
Search
Amount of content will dictate architecture
Current guidance is 500 GB disk for 10M items – 10M items per
index
Different types of content will have different storage impacts
Search Considerations
Complex queries are more taxing than simple queries
More terms, more operators (AND, OR, NEAR)
eDiscovery features within the eDiscovery feature leverage search
Adding more Exchange sources to a Set increases the number of
queries
Adding more SharePoint/File Share sources to a Set increases the
complexity of queries
Preview functionality, document counts, query statistics, applying
refiners
If shared with Enterprise Search, users could be impacted
Recommend running large queries off hours or properly manage
discovery sets
Export Considerations
Content is downloaded individually using respective
protocols (SharePoint, file shares)
Search is not used during the export process
In general, exports are not expected to affect a SharePoint
environment
