SUMMARY 
======= 
 
ADVQUERY is a more advanced sample query program than QSAMPLE. 
It shows everything needed to execute a Microsft Index Server query. 
 
 
MORE INFORMATION 
================ 
 
usage: ADVQUERY query [/c:catalog] [/m:machine] 
    query        a Microsoft Index Server query 
    /c:catalog   name of the catalog, default is SYSTEM 
    /m:machine   name of the machine, default is local machine 
    /s:scope     root path, default is entire catalog 
    /d           displays the DBCOMMANDTREE, default is off 
 
The "query" paramater can be a word or phrase.  Files that contain the 
word or phrase are listed in the result. To include a space in a query, 
enclose the query in quotes. 
 
The "catalog" parameter is the name of the catalog to be queried.  The 
default is "SYSTEM", which is the default catalog installed with Windows 
NT 5.0.  Additional catalogs can be created with the Microsoft Index Server 
MMC snapin. 
 
The "machine" parameter is the name of the machine on which the query 
will be executed.  The default is ".", which is the local machine.  Machine 
names should not be preceeded with two backslashes. 
 
The "scope" parameter is the file path under which files must exist 
to be included in the results.  The default is "\", which includes all 
scopes in the catalog. 
 
The "/d" parameter displays the DBCOMMANDTREE built to execute the query. 
 
For each file that matches the query, the file's rank, size, and path 
are printed. 
 
The query results are sorted by rank (how well the file matches the query). 
 
Examples: 
 
    advquery foo 
    Finds all files in the SYSTEM catalog on the local machine containing 
    the word "foo" 
 
    advquery "foo bar" "/s:c:\my directory" 
    Finds all files in the SYSTEM catalog on the local machine containing 
    the phrase "foo bar" that are in the specified directory or any 
    subdirectory. 
 
    advquery foo /m:SERVERNAME 
    Finds all files in the SYSTEM catalog on machine "servername" containing 
    the word foo
