Description
This cmdlet imports a thesaurus dictionary using a .csv file, and deploys it to the query processing flow. A previously deployed thesaurus is overwritten by an import of a new .csv file.
NOTE: If an empty .csv file is imported, an empty thesaurus will be deployed. No synonyms will then be added to the queries.
For permissions and the most current information about Windows PowerShell for SharePoint Products, see the online documentation at SharePoint Server Cmdlets.
Examples
EXAMPLE
C:\PS>$searchApp = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
Import-SPEnterpriseSearchThesaurus -SearchApplication $searchApp -Filename
\\host\share\thesaurus.csv
This example imports a thesaurus dictionary .csv file named thesaurus.csv that is located at \\host\share to the default search service application.
Parameters
-AssignmentCollection
Applicable: 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.
