Search Scope for Content Source in Fast Search

TechNet has an article to create and view Search Scope, but I followed all the procedure still can’t get Item in the search scope.

After hours search, I found you will need to create a content source in your Fast Search Query service as well.

Below is the PowerShell I run to create the search scope

a list of all available content sources


$searchapp = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication "FASTQuery Service Application" 


Get-SPEnterpriseSearchCrawlContentSource -SearchApplication $searchapp



$searchapp = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication "FASTQuery Service Application" 

$scope = New-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScope -Name "productsscope " -Description "product scope created in PowerShell" -SearchApplication $searchapp -DisplayInAdminUI $true 

New-SPEnterpriseSearchQueryScopeRule -RuleType PropertyQuery -ManagedProperty ContentSource -PropertyValue "Product Master"-FilterBehavior Include -url http://simsearch.simapps -scope $scope -SearchApplication $searchapp
