This problem will surely tax the brains of all of the experts on this list.
We have had an Index Server Catalog running for three years on Windows 2000
SP4. It has slowly built up ober time to 600,000+ documents, all in a dated
folder scheme, like 2006/09/30  ie by year then by ...

Windows 2003
In IIS I created MyWeb with a host header of MyWeb (no dns, management's
"temporary" solution) with Home directory located at C:\MyWeb
Created MyWeb Index.  In "Query the Catalog" I see the query working

Several questions, not found on http://www.indexserverfaq.com :
- Is it possible to know, for a specific folder and programmaticaly, the
list of the files that are already detected but not yet indexed  ?
  (and without comparing a file system request and a ix request...)

Sometimes (about once a year) the catalog become corrupted.
Usully, I :
- stop the service cisvc ;
- delete the catalog folder ;

I'd like to move the catalog since I put it below the folder that's being
indexed. I read somewhere that's not a good idea and I'd like to move it
instead of creating another one from scratch.
Also, any optimization tips would be nice.

I have a web service interfacing with IS (Windows Server 2003) through
OLEDB.  The index contains office documents and web pages in english and in
french.  I want to know if there is a way to tell IS to do an
accent-insensitve search ("telephone" should match "téléphone" and vice ...

Our intranet used indexing service extensively. We'd set up a variety of
shared folders, people could drag-n-drop files into them, and then we had
some ASP code that would render a list of said documents in HTML.
This was set up years ago.

I'm trying to tune and refine my query building routine and having
trouble with something that should be really simple. I have 2 word
docs, one named flavors.doc and one named colors.doc. Inside both are
some appropriate words (colors and flavors). They both have the word

I am building an index server test system on server 200 sp1
I have adobe iFilter installed and generate abstracts checked on the catalog
properties.
I am using oledb provider for queries, including the characterization

I've found that you can't use MMC for excluding wildcarded paths.
So I decided to add REG_SZ records under Scopes, such as:
*.jpg    ,,4
Is that right?

I've been using index server companion and really like it.
The problem is, when I use https for all my base urls in the ini file,
it can't find the robots.txt file and stops running. It seems so simple
but I don't know what to try.
