I recently setup a Windows 2000 Advanced Server with a search engine for its
web content, this works fine and I had no problems getting it working.

and configured the Index Service and catalogs in exactly ...

Server 1 : Index Server + IIS Server
Server 2 : storage
Both servers in Win 2000 Advanced Server French ; local settings seem to be
the sames.

After a failed query to Indexing Service, I wrap the search string in
double quotes and try again. On Win2000 this works fine and returns the

folders. Freetext search is surprisingly fast. If we however specify a given
folder as search scope (AddScopeToQuery) performance drops to something

I have an application written in C# that queries an Index Server
catalog of about 150,000 Word documents, using OleDB/MSidxs.  I'm
looking into how to improve performance.  Queries that return few

I am trying to search for a word such as "e-business" using the Indexing
Service Query object (CissoQuery).  Now what I would like to do is to be able
to search for e-bus and return results of variations of this term, e.g.
e-business, e-busi.  So effectively, I would like to a do a ...

When I attempt to index documents on a Windows NT 4.0 file server using
Windows 2000 Index Server the "Docs to Index" is higher then the "Total
Docs"(ex 2000 Total Docs and 10000 Docs to Index) and keeps climbing.  Files
