SharePoint Continuous Crawl Interval
Continuous crawl really isn’t continuous. It is more like incremental crawls done close together. The default interval for continuous crawl is actually every 15 minutes. But you can change this.
To get the names of your search service applications
$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication $ssa
To get the current setting for continuous crawl intervals of a specific Search Service Application. Replace “Search Service Name" below.
$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication "Search Service Name" $ssa.GetProperty("ContinuousCrawlInterval")
To set the interval of continuous crawls. Change the 5 example below to the number of minutes between crawls.
$ssa = Get-SPEnterpriseSearchServiceApplication "Search Service Name" $ssa.SetProperty("ContinuousCrawlInterval",5)
