Is it possible to set a content Source to Cont. crawl during business hours and then at e.g 6 pm it automatic starts a Full crawl - and when this is done it goes back to cont. crawl?  so there's no incremental crawl involved

Continous crawl and full crawl are mutually exclusive. If you want this type of configuration, you would need to use script it and run script at appropriate times to do switch over.

Hope this

what do you mean with the: Continous crawl and full crawl are mutually exclusive?

Hmmm, I don't see a script to the cont. crawl.... when one set the cont. crawl it sets a 4 hours default incremental

I could create a schedule tasks that fires a powershell that starts full crawl...but can't see the rest of the solution

Hello,

I have not tried these but the sources are below

Start full crawl: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-us/library/ff607730.aspx

$searchapp = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication " SearchApp1" $contentsource = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource -SearchApplication $searchapp -Identity "Local SharePoint Sites" $contentsource.StartFullCrawl()

Disable continuous: https://technet.microsoft.com/en-gb/library/jj219802.aspx

$SSA =  Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication
$SPContentSources = $SSA | Get-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource | WHERE {$_.Type -eq "SharePoint"} 
foreach ($cs in $SPContentSources) 
{ 
  $cs.EnableContinuousCrawls = $false 
  $cs.Update() 
}
Enable change $false to $true
