Now in this page you are able to see the default content sources and here I am going to create a custom content source for search service application.

Click new content sources.



Provide the name for the content sources.

Content source type will be default “SharePoint Sites”.



In the start address box provide the web application url for crawling the site and its contents.



Copy the url and paste into the start address box.

“Crawl everything under the hostname for each start address” it will help you to crawl the information under hostname for all the site collections.



Crawl schedule will be default “Enable continuous crawl”.



Click Ok so now the content source created successfully.



Now Start Full Crawl.
