Activating FAST search feature using power shell script

Hi Guys,

I had a chance to check whether the fast search feature is activated on your site collection or not using power shell script.

If you navigate to the below url, then you are able to find the fast search feature status
http://sitecollectionurl/_layouts/contextualkeywordmanagement.aspx



Fast search feature is the hidden one, where you need to activate that one using power shell console only through farm administration rights.

Here is the powershell command to know the features activated on your site collection

Get-SPFeature -site siteurl |sort displayname.

If you do not find the feature named "Search Extensions" in the activated features list, you need to activate the hidden feature manually using Fast search feature GUID.

Enable-SPFeature -ID "5EAC763D-FBF5-4d6f-A76B-EDED7DD7B0A5" -site sitecollectionurl
