search2.xsd: use to import and export stop words, search term completion suggestions, synonyms, hypernyms, redirects,and searchable attributes.
sort.xsd: use to import and export sorting rules
preferences.xsd: use to import and export search preferences
search.xsd: deprecated and removed in 2011. Remains only to allow the import and export of index stemmer or indexing mode.
