SharePoint 2007: How to Specify Time-Out Settings for Search

Farm administrators can specify the amount of time they want the server to crawl servers that you know are slow, you can configure the time-out settings as a proactive measure or you can change the time-out settings at any time that you discover a performance related problem.

Note: You must be a farm administrator to complete this procedure.

  1. Complete one of the following steps depending on the status of your installation.

    • If the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers is installed:

      1. In Central Administration, on the Quick Launch, in the Shared Services Administration group, click a shared service.
      2. On the Shared Services Administration page, in the Search section, click Search administration.

      3. On the Search Administration page, in the Crawling section, click Proxy and Timeouts. The Manage Farm-Level Search Settings page appears.

    • If the Infrastructure Update for Microsoft Office Servers is not installed:

      1. In Central Administration, on the Application Management tab, in the Search section, click Manage search service.

      2. On the Manage Search Service page, in the Farm-Level Search Settings section, click Farm-level search settings. The Manage Farm-Level Search Settings page appears.

  2. On the Manage Farm-Level Search Settings page, in the Timeout Settings section, do the following:

    • In the Connection time (in seconds) box, enter the number of seconds you want the server to wait while connecting to other services.

    • In the Request acknowledgement time (in seconds) box, enter the number of seconds you want the server to wait for another service to acknowledge a request to connect to that service.

  3. Click OK.
