The Search feature of the Microsoft Sharepoint Server not only makes it possible to search through content, documents, and people within the SharePoint sites, but also through external sources such as Windows file shares, public Microsoft Exchange server folders, and standard web sites.

The Archival and Schema plugins are internal components of the Microsoft Sharepoint Server Search engine, typically responsible for processing the metadata of indexed documents. By monitoring these components, administrators can efficiently evaluate how well the Microsoft Sharepoint Server search feature is functioning, identify irregularities early, and fine-tune the Microsoft Sharepoint Server to ensure peak performance of the search engine.

This test monitors the performance of the SharePoint Foundation Search Schema and Alias Mapping Plugin thus helping to assess its processing ability.
