The sample in this category demonstrates programmatic access to the Content Indexing catalogs. Content Indexing is a service in Windows NT version 5 that provides very fast full text search over material that has been indexed (typically files or Web pages) at the expense of disk space (for storing the catalogs).
The programmatic interface to the index server is via OLE DB.
The index server relies on "filters" (registered implementations of the IFilter interface) to parse different file formats. The following sample shows how such a filter DLL is built.
