The Content Search Service Application allows you to crawl the data source in SharePoint and the Query Search Service Application allows you to query the crawling result in SharePoint. This article will show you how to setup them and then do a small test.
Before starting setup those service applications, you need to go to your FAST Search for SharePoint installation directory. Open the Install_Info.txt file. Because we need to get some information from it during the configuration.
-------------------------------------------------------------------------
Setup a Content Search Service Application
1. Open your SharePoint 2010 Central Administration, click -> Application Management -> Manage service applications
2. In the ribbon, click the New -> Search Service Application, you will get the Create New Search Service Application dialog
3. Enter a new search service application name, and then select FAST Search Connector. For the application pool, I suggest you create a new application pool for this service application. For the Content Distributors and Content Collection Name, you can get them from the Install_Info.txt file.
4. Click OK button and it will create the service application. After a few minutes, you will receive a success dialog.
5. click OK button to close the dialog.
6. Enable Configure SSL enabled communication
a. Copy the script securefastsearchconnector.ps1 from the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint administration server to the SharePoint Server 2010 server. The securefastsearchconnector.ps1 script is in the <FASTSearchFolder>, under installer\scripts\
b. Copy the certificate file FASTSearchCert.pfx from the FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint administration server to the SharePoint Server 2010 server. The certificate file is in the <FASTSearchFolder>, under data\data_security\cert\
c. Open a Microsoft SharePoint 2010 Management Shell with the Run as administrator option on the SharePoint Server 2010 server
d. Navigate to the directory where you copied the securefastsearchconnector.ps1 script and run it, replacing the necessary parameters with the values for your environment. The domain and user name should reflect the details of the user running the SharePoint Server Search 14 (OSearch14) service. .\SecureFASTSearchConnector.ps1 –certPath "path of the certificate\certificatename.pfx" –ssaName "name of your content SSA" –username “domain\username”
e. When prompted to enter the certificate password, enter the certificate password that you supplied when you ran the post-setup configuration of FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint.

Setup a Query Search Service Application
1. Open your SharePoint 2010 Central Administration, click -> Application Management -> Manage service applications
2. In the ribbon, click the New -> Search Service Application, you will get the Create New Search Service Application dialog
3. Enter a Service Application name and then select FAST Search Query. There are two application pool settings. One is for Search Admin, the other is for Search query and site settings. You can select an existing one for them but I suggest you to create a new one for each of them.
4. Click OK button to finish the creation. After a few minutes, you will receive a success dialog.
5. Click OK button to close the dialog.
6. Go back to your SharePoint Central Administration, click Application Management -> click Configure service application associations
7. Click the default link under Application Proxy Group
8. Check your FAST Search Query application you created just now, click the [set as default] button and then click the OK button below.

3. Copy this file to your FAST Search for SharePoint server
4. Go to your FAST Search for SharePoint server, click Start -> All Programs -> Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint -> right click Microsoft FAST Search Server 2010 for SharePoint 2010 Shell, and select Run as administrator
