Indexing Service indexes files and file properties on your disks and stores the information in a catalog. It searches the complete text and properties of documents stored on an Internet or intranet Web site. Using samples installed with Indexing Service, a Web site administrator can quickly create Web query forms and make them available to users. Users can then generate queries by filling in the fields of the query form. The Web server forwards this query form to the query engine, which finds the pertinent documents and returns the results, in the form of a Web page, to the client.
In addition to indexing Web pages in HTML format, Indexing Service can search documents formatted by applications such as Microsoft® Word and Microsoft® Excel, so that you don’t have to convert them to HTML.
