SUMMARY
This article contains a copy of the Index Server 2.0 Release Notes included with the Windows NT 4.0 Option Pack. It is listed here so that the issues it covers are included in queries that are performed against the Knowledge Base. MORE INFORMATION
Thank you for installing Microsoft(R) Index Server version 2.0 for Microsoft(R)
Internet Information Server (IIS) version 4.0 running on Microsoft(R) Windows NT(R)
Server. This topic supplements information contained in the online
documentation. This page contains: For more information about Index Server and related features, see the Index
Server home page: http://www.microsoft.com/ntserver/search This section updates the Index Server documentation for the following
topics: When you create a new Web site through Internet Information Server (IIS), the
site is not indexed by default, and therefore you cannot search documents on
that site with Index Server. Next, you must add a catalog for the new site. To learn how to add a catalog,
see Creating Catalogs in the main documentation. The Index Server sample query forms configure the Webhits ISAPI application
to run out of the IIS process, because ISAPI applications are generally
configured to run out of process when they are untrusted. It's better to run
untrusted applications out of process so that IIS is not affected if the
application crashes. Webhits is configured in the Index Server samples to run
out of process because it uses text filters (IFilter) to display query hits in
files. Because text filters come from many companies, it's hard to guarantee
they are all robust. The filters that ship with Index Server have been thoroughly tested. These
include the HTML, Microsoft Office, and text filters. If you haven't installed
any third party filters, it's safe (and more efficient) to run Webhits in the
IIS process on your Web server. Internet Service Manager can configure virtual directories for running in or
out of the IIS process. To configure Webhits to run in or out of process, edit
the properties of the virtual directory in which the .htw files reside. Then, in
the Directory property sheet, set the Run in separate
memory space (isolated process) check box appropriately. By default,
Index Server installs .htw file samples in the /IISsamples/ISsamples/Oop virtual
directory. If you cannot run Webhits in the IIS process, limitations in IIS impose
restrictions on Webhits. For example, files in virtual directories on computers
other than the Web server cannot be displayed using Webhits when Webhits is
running out of the IIS process. Also, files with extensions not associated with
an IFilter cannot be displayed with Webhits when Webhits is running out of the
IIS process and when the registry parameter
WebhitsDisplayScript is not set to 2. You can work around these limitations, but the workaround compromises
security for the Web server. Use this workaround only if security is not a
significant concern for your installation. The workaround requires the
administrator to do the following: This account must have administrative privileges on the local computer. If you have a technical question about Microsoft Index Server, use this
