The first place I looked at was the search service search administration page. As you would expect in the crawl history and it shows you general information about what was going on in the crawl. Continue reading

Let’s take a look on how to add a newly installed feature to an established feature pack.
An example of this would be a multi-tenant farm that leverages feature packs, where we just installed a new web part.
When the web part is installed the features is part of the farm, but not part of any our site collections. This happens because the new feature is not associated with any feature packs that are used in the multi-tenant scenario.
The first let’s take a look to see what exact features I have assigned to our site subscription Continue reading
