Hello.
We currently have an Enterprise Search Centre in SharePoint 2013 that indexes everything within SharePoint but nothing else. I'd like to crawl and index 5 million documents that are stored on DFS shares. Is there any reason I shouldn't just scale out the existing farm to include additional application servers to host the search components? Or should I create a whole new farm dedicated to search?
My current farm consists of 1 x SQL, 2 x APP and 2 x WFE.
Any feedback or suggestions welcome.
Thanks,
D
