Description
This cmdlet reads a MetadataCategory object when the category is created, updated, or deleted. You should run this cmdlet when the initial search is configured, and after a new crawled property category is discovered during a crawl. SPEnterpriseSearchMetadataCategory represents a category in the enterprise search metadata property schema.
If the Identity parameter is not specified, this cmdlet returns the metadata category collection for the specified search service application.

Parameters
-AssignmentCollection
Applicable: SharePoint Server 2010, SharePoint Server 2013, SharePoint Server 2016, SharePoint Server 2019
Manages objects for the purpose of proper disposal. Use of objects, such as SPWeb or SPSite, can use large amounts of memory and use of these objects in Windows PowerShell scripts requires proper memory management. Using the SPAssignment object, you can assign objects to a variable and dispose of the objects after they are needed to free up memory. When SPWeb, SPSite, or SPSiteAdministration objects are used, the objects are automatically disposed of if an assignment collection or the Global parameter is not used.
When the Global parameter is used, all objects are contained in the global store. If objects are not immediately used, or disposed of by using the Stop-SPAssignment command, an out-of-memory scenario can occur.
