| This information is rather deep technical and not really required to install and configure the Connector for SharePoint Search. However, sometimes it could be useful for understanding the whole procedere. |
To deploy a custom indexing connector to a SharePoint farm several steps are required to be done. Each Some of these steps (indicazed by a  icon) have to be executed on all application servers of the farm (this includes all servers that host the Crawl component): - install and deploy the custom indexing connector (script "DeploySolution.ps1")
- ensure that the Business Connectivity Services model file (in our case this is "ConfluenceBDCModel.xml") is available on all application servers in the same directory (manually)
- add a registry entry for the protocol used by SharePoint to call into the indexing connector (script "RegisterProtocolHandler.ps1")
- register the indexing connector (i.e. protocol handler) that is used to crawl the custom repository (script "RegisterProtocolHandler.ps1")
- Create search content source (script "RegisterProtocolHandler.ps1")
- Add start addresses to the content source (manually)
