14. Schema can be managed by site admins, reducing the load on search administrator Schema can be configured to allow more granularity (query, retrieve, refine, sort, etc) - Affects content index size Remote result sources can be crawled locally and then queried by remote farms. Huge impact on geo-distributed search KL may be able to help! Individual items can be re-crawled easily Automatic URL balancing in crawl databases minimizes host name restrictions for large archive repositoriesScalability limit changes will have a big impact on farm design for large archive content repositories inthe near future.
