After the Search Service Application is created, you can Search for each site, but it is necessary to set a Search Center to process requests in a centralized manner. The Search Center provides default Farm Search settings for other sites. At the Site Collection and Site levels, you can configure Site Settings to submit search requests to the search center, so that you do not need to configure each site.
