How to export SearchConfiguration from Central administration ?

Answer 1

We cannot export search configuration from central administration.

If you want to move the search service application from one environment to another environment, you could back up the search service application and restore it in another environment.

We can back up and restore search service application by PowerShell command or Central Administration.

And the two procedures can back up all of the search components including the databases, the search service configuration, and all of the index files.
