Methods and systems for providing a search service application

A system for providing a search service application is disclosed and includes an application builder component that provides a search model for a first object of a plurality of objects. The search model is based at least on an end-user input field corresponding to a first attribute of the first object and a search result output field corresponding to a second attribute of the first object. The search model is also associated with a backend data store that supports a storage structure that stores information relating to the first object. The system also includes a deployment engine that automatically configures a search engine system associated with the backend data store to place a portion of indexed data into a first partition and to place another portion of indexed data into at least another partition based on the search model.
