Sharepoint search, powershell and keywordquery

  • Artigo

Ever wanted to just query the search catalog for some text and get back your results without going into the browser?

Ever needed to use a sharepoint query to drive data through another script or other code?

Well, here's your answer. :)

I whipped this little widget up to use the KeywordQuery class to issue queries to a site and saves off the results as a CSV file.

Things to remember: Use the Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Query.KeywordQuery class to do your dirty work, not Microsoft.SharePoint.Search.Query.KeywordQuery unless (I believe) you are using WSS 3.0 or SharePoint Foundation Server 2010 only.

And here you go - just save that off as .ps1 and run it from your SharePoint Management Console window

 #input parameters 
param($site, $queryText, $outputPath) 
 
 
# new keywordquery object 
$site = New-Object Microsoft.SharePoint.SPSite $site 
$query = New-Object Microsoft.office.Server.Search.Query.KeywordQuery $site 
 
# set ResultTypes 
$query.ResultTypes = [Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Query.ResultType]::RelevantResults 
 
# set number of items to return 
$query.RowLimit = 10 
 
# actual string you are searching for 
$query.QueryText = $queryText 
 
# execute the query 
$resultTableColl = $query.Execute() 
 
# get the results back 
$resultTable = $resultTableColl.Item([Microsoft.Office.Server.Search.Query.ResultType]::RelevantResults) 
 
# make a DataTable from the results 
$resDataTable = $resultTable.Table 
 
# output the results, select the properties you want back, export to CSV file 
$resDataTable.Rows | Select-Object -Property Path,Title | Export-Csv -Path $outputPath
