A Search project is a collection of settings that control how content is indexed, how the index is managed, and requests for the index are processed. The searchable content is called the index. Each index is composed of one or more content sets. A Search project should represent a body of content that you want to deploy as one entity. Each Search project automatically has one content set when created, as well as indexing, staging, and Workbench environments.

Note: Index size does not bear any direct relationship to the size of the raw information being indexed—dictionaries, topics, and other customizations all add to the size of the index, as can the nature of the content itself. For example, content consisting mostly of pictures with some metadata might form a very small index relative to the raw content size, while a product catalog with many small, unique pieces of information might be relatively large.
