Using mutiple SSPs - does this sound correct?
Hi all, We are heavy adopters of MOSS 2007 within the office, using it for document colaberation, intranet, search, document management, the list goes on! We currently have 3 site collections which hold all of these documents, intranet etc, and all are connected to one SSP which provides the search index. I am looking to create a forth site collection in its own database (which I am comfortable with) due to a forthcoming project to scan thousands of OCR'd documents, but would like to keep the search totally seperate, so am thinking of using a seperate SSP. With the current SSP we have to sometimes perform full crawls and other such tasks which have required us to reset the search index, so in order to minimize the impact of such work in the future I would like to create two indexes, hence two SSPs. We have one database server, and one web/index server. Would what I am proposing technically work? Does anyone know of any useful articles which would provide details on the pros/cons of such a setup? Thanks, Rich

Yes you can use multiple SSP and in your scenario the best solution would be to use a separate SSP. Also make sure with multiple SSP you will have to manage the following for individual SSP separately. So be prepared for it Manage user profiles Manage audiences Manage permissions Manage usage analytics Manage Search You can read Steve's article on the same http://blogs.msdn.com/scaravajal/archive/2007/04/04/moss-indexing-and-ssps.aspx -Mukesh
