Building Portals, Intranets, and Corporate Web Sites Using Microsoft Servers

Managing Search Schedules

The administrator schedules updates of content sources to provide timely updates while balancing workload of the server. In most cases, content outside the portal is crawled on a daily basis and scheduled for the least busy time of the business day. You can schedule more or less frequent updates to suit your requirements (Figure 13.17). A site that changes only infrequently might be indexed on a weekly rather than a daily basis, and internal portal sites may be crawled every 10 minutes (the default).
