Here’s a case study that describes an architecture firm who used MOSS to provide search for it’s 10 TB of data. That’s a freaky huge amount of data to crawl and I’m here to tell you that it’s no small thing to manage that kind of search repository.

I’m working with a farm right now that can crawl around 1,000,000 items in 24 hours. We’re working on increasing that right now by getting a faster PDF ifilter and tuning some things up but it’s only going to take us so far.

At some point soon we’re going to have to start considering some of the SSP and search wizardry mentioned in this awesome whitepaper from Microsoft IT, “SharePoint Performance Optimization”
