  • Article

This element is the actual content of the protocol server’s RegistrationSoapOut SOAP message. It contains all registration information about a protocol server.

The structure of this element assumes that one protocol server can have multiple search applications, and each search application can have multiple Office SharePoint Server Search services. However, this version of the Search Protocol only supports exactly one search application per protocol server, and exactly one Office SharePoint Server Search service per search application.
