Programmatic Search Settings Configuration
Hi,
I could need some help with a SharePoint administration script/program I want to code. Can someone tell me how to set the following WebUI setting programmatically?
Site Settings > Site Collection Administration > Search Settings > Search Center
Any help or feedback is appreciated.
Thanks,
Frank

See the following post: http://stsadm.blogspot.com/2007/10/set-search-center.html.
This is basically what you do:
string url = "your site collection url";
using (SPSite site = new SPSite(url))
using (SPWeb web = site.RootWeb)
{
string searchCenter = "your search center url";
web.AllProperties["SRCH_ENH_FTR_URL"] = searchCenter;
web.Update();
}Sometime I've found that the SDK documentation is less than helpful and tend to resort to disassembling the web pages that you'd hit when doing this via the browser.

You could programatically administer sharepoint search. Things like content sources, content propogation
search scopes, crawl rules and search keywords etc can be administered using API's
This is clearly dealt in MOSS 2007 SDK. It can be downloaded from the following location
Please refer the section 'Programmatically Administering Search' section in the SDK for more details
