Configuring the Catalog Build Server

To configure the catalog build server, you must use the IBuildServer interface object, which you obtain through the ISearchAdmin.BuildServer property. The IBuildServer interface object manages the following:

1. Catalog definitions through the BuildCatalogs property. BuildCatalogs is a collection of IBuildCatalog interface objects, each of which specifies a catalog definition.
   
   
2. Catalog build server behavior, such as specifying the following:
   • How frequently Search hits a site, the user agent used for crawling, timeout values, the default content access account name for crawling other hosts, and the email address to log while crawling.
     
     
   • The default access account and other administrative settings.
     
     
   • Locations for catalog definitions, logs, and temporary files.
     
     
   • Where catalog definitions and server configurations are saved.
     
     
   • The amount of host resources dedicated to building catalogs.
     
     
   • Proxy server addresses and settings.
