C. Create a new search service application.
D. Modify the Search Application topology settings
Correct Answer: D
Explanation/Reference:
A single SharePoint 2010 farm can provide multiple instances of search service applications. Each service instance can support multiple component instances in a topology that can be designed for performance, for resiliency, or to isolate information.
The default topology of a new search service application will have a single instance of each component, all components on one application server, and all databases on one database server. The four components are as follows.
Administration interface
Crawl component (the crawler)
Database set, broken into three databases: administration, crawl, and property
Index partition
This topology can be changed using the Modify Topology link located on the Farm-Wide Search Administration page or from the Search Service Administration page. The SharePoint Search topology cannot be changed in stand-alone installations.
