We are deploying SharePoint 2013 solution through F5 Load balancer and want to direct all Search traffic to 1 server and all other traffic to other servers. What HTTP Headers I can use to differentiate between the Search Queries and normal Browser traffic.

I tried using the "User-Agent" header from HTTP request but it remains consistent for all kind of traffic. Please suggest.

Hi Er.Sandy,

You could configure the search topology for your sharepoint farm , so all the search queries indexing crawling will be transferred to that server.
