Search Server diagrams and technical explanations

I like pictures, I draw them all the time to try and explain abstract environments for people so that they can better grasp or understand.  This in turn makes my job easier.  It is so nice then to discover that someone at MS has done a great job of drawing up the models for Search server.  It also has a lot of readable information in the model that further clarifies what they are talking about.

I always end up looking for this so I figured I would just re-post it myself.
