I have set up Index Server in IIS to search my intranet. I've installed the Adobe PDF filter so that words from PDF files are included.
I can get results from PDFs when querying the catalogue in the Windows console. However, I have tried various ASP Search pages and they all ignore PDF files from a browser (even though the scripts include the pdf extension).
I am having a problem with the following search results code. The first page of results looks normal, but on the second page (records 26+), no results are displayed and the following error message is shown:
“The catalog directory can not be found in the location specified by 'CiCatalog=' in file indexServer.idq.”
I do not understand how the catalog could have changed in between the first and second pages of results. Can anyone tell me what may be wrong? I have attached the search page (search.htm), the query file (indexserver.idq) and the query results template (indexserver.htx).
I'm just about to start a project that needs to combine the results of a SQL
Server query with the results of an Index Server query. The basic idea is
that the user enters/selects a bunch of search criteria on a form.
Most of
the criteria selected by the user will be used to select records from the
database - standard WHERE clause stuff - but the user can also enter
free-text that should be searched for in associated uploaded documents.
The
documents are sitting in the file-system with file-name pointers only stored
in the database (not the document). Only records where the associated
free-text is found in the documents should be returned. I'm new to Index
Server and am wondering how is this done. Any good references/tutes?
I am uploading to a server for the first time. I believe that my server will not point to .asp pages as the start page, only .htm is this correct?
I wanted my index.asp page displayed first from the web-site by default, but have been told that I need say, an index.htm which then points to my index.asp page.
Is there a way that I can use my index.asp page as my start page?
I need a search engine for my web. The service Index Server (for web) is started (win 2K) but i don't know how to make an ASP page for that. I can make a form like this:
<form ACTION="/asp/search_v2/query2.asp" METHOD="POST">
<table WIDTH="500" bordercolor="#FFFFFF">
<td>Give what you want to search:</td>
</tr>
<td><input TYPE="TEXT" NAME="SearchString" SIZE="65" MAXLENGTH="100"
VALUE=""></td>
<td><input TYPE="SUBMIT" NAME="Action" VALUE="Go"></td>
</form>
but then .
i have a cc validation application in c# i dont know how to use it in webforms any suggestions. how do i create the instance of that class in webforms and use that class functions/properties??

View Replies View RelatedI am trying to build a site for a group which already has a hosting company.
I would like to try to find out which objects are available for use to me.
I do not have admin access to the NT box. Obviously I have permissions in
my area of the server.
I know I can test for specific objects but I'd like to know what is
available, not just what I can test against. Is this even possible? Code:
I fire the following code on Index Server (different obj) and it returns a PDFs no problem, but when I change the object to use the MSSearch for Site Server I don't get any PDFs. Anything in the code that would cause this? I can see the PDFs getting crawled in Site Server, but when I try and search I don't get any pdfs .....
View Replies View RelatedThis is partly an ASP question and partly not an ASP question.
I'm trying to implement an ASP page that will use Index Server to provide search capability for a document repository folder. I've gotten this working on my server fine, but I'm now trying to implement it on a laptop (running Windows 2000 Pro) so that a salesman can show it to a prospective client. I was wondering if anyone knew if accessing Index Server through a web page would work on Win2kPro and the PWS it has?
Also, my working version is currently using the old style idq and htx pages and I've been having a hard time finding a good resource to show me how to do this in ASP...
I have to place a search the site text box in my .net site .I have installed MS indexing service and it has indexed my completed folder and if i query it it only shows the fields Rank,filename,Vpath,write ,size its not showing me the description and title which my headache.
I am making the query to server :
"select description,Contents,DocTitle, Filename, Vpath, Size, Write, Characterization, Rank from scope() where FREETEXT(Contents, 'market') order by rank desc"
I have index server running and happily cataloging one site and dishing up search results via and asp page. Having created a new catalogue for another site and putting the same asp code in I don't seem to have any info in the "characterization" field! Any idea why this is? Is there something about the way the pages are built that would allow that to work or not?
View Replies View RelatedWhile reading a article i came accross this word "index server"?
what does this all about?
I've been playing around with MS Index Server 3.0 (well, the one that comes with Windows 2000 Professional!) and my client has a website that generates dynamic content based on ASP code. I unfortunately require the use of Index Server because the IFilter allows support for searching within PDF files.My problem is that while all of the static content pages and PDF files are detected, indexed and catalogued fine, none of any dynamic pages are. I can clearly see why this is, since I assume Index Server doesn't have a webcrawler of any sort!I was wondering then, how people generally get around this problem, working with it? What is a quick way to get dynamic content integrated into the search? Should I find/write a webcrawler then put it into my search program or is there something better out there that will let me do all of this
View Replies View RelatedI have a custom search engine for our website that uses MS Index Server and it works great but it doesn't find any results for searches that contain french accented characters.If I'm searching for "élément"...it doesn't find anything because the page uses html codes for accents and this word would be written like
"élément" in my source code. My page uses charset utf-8 but the Index server uses 2 separate files(.htx and .idq files) and there doesn't seem to be any settings in there for this problem.
I'm having trouble getting my head around the query language for an Index Server Search w/ASP.I have some dummy content pages that have text like "this file contains things" and "this file contains stuff".I've tried these two queries:
PHP Code:
SELECT DocTitle, VPath, Path, Filename, Rank FROM SCOPE('DEEP TRAVERSAL OF "c:inetpubwwwroot"')
WHERE ((CONTAINS(' "file contains" ') >0)
AND ((Path NOT LIKE '%\_vti%') AND (Path NOT LIKE '%\_private%') AND (Filename NOT LIKE 'search.asp')))
ORDER BY Rank DESC
I have written a search logic for my website using microsoft indexing
service. I designed it on Windows XP. It works great.
Then i copied that to our Windows NT webserver and it is giving me the
following error
Microsoft VBScript runtime error '800a01ad'
ActiveX component can't create object
/search.asp, line 25
Line 25 is
Set QueryObj = Server.CreateObject("IXSSO.Query")
Does anyone know anything abot Index Server ... The Documentation is Terrible and I am trying to find out if you can query the DocTitle.
View Replies View RelatedWe've had Index Server 2.0 running on an NT4/IIS4 server for several months now. It generates document abstracts and we retreive and display them using ASP/VBScript and ADO, using the SQL-querying method rather than the proprietary Index Server objects.
We're now trying to set up a replacement server based on Index Server 3.0 and Win2000/IIS5. We have the system up and running as before, with the exception of the abstracts.
Nothing is being returned for the abstracts - no data, no error message. "Generate Abstracts" is ticked in the Catalog Properties and we've ordered any number of re-scans and Stop/Starts of the service, but we're still not seeing any abstracts.
I'm working on creating a search functionality. I have keywords of articles in one column of a SQL server table, and the search terms of the user is hitting that column.
It works but I'm stuck on how to determine relevancy. I know you can create indexes in SQL server, and if it works anything lik Index Server, I was thinking that I could connect via ADO and determine relevancy.
I am currently in the process of moving my website from an NT Server/IIS 3.0 to a Win 2003 Server/IIS 6.0. I am trying to set up the index server for my site search. I have added the catalog and stored it in the same directory as my current website. I am using the exactly the same code and the same catalog name.
When I use the "Query Catalog" option within the Index Server I get results when I run a search. However, when I run a search through the website I get nothing returned.
We've been using Index Server and IIS4 and the corresponding objects to
search our sites. Everything fine.
Now we have set up a new server running IIS6 and the search results always
return "null" for Characterization, DocSubject and some other properties. I
found out that they were not cached. But turning caching on and initiating a
reindex didn't help either. Code runs fine on IIS4.
I've not used Index Server since I set it up about 4 years ago on a Windows NT 4 machine.
I now have to move the site to a Windows 2000 machine. I've hunted high and low and have yet to find anything on the subject. Anyone point me in the right direction?
I am using the Index search server that comes with MS IIS 3.0. The search works ok but how do I limit the search to only HTML/ASP files and not include MS Office files in the search results?
View Replies View RelatedI was excited to use Microsoft Index Server, built into IIS, to set-up a site-search function, but it doesn't, by default, parse the ASP code of the pages it indexes. This makes it sort of a weak option for a site that uses variables to populate content in a templated site.
For example, I use variables to fill in the meta tags, and every page shows up in the search results as "UNTITLED." The problems go much deeper than that, but that's just an example.
if there's a trick to make it parse the code before it indexes? I mean, it's IIS, right? It should be able to parse ASP code. (You would think.) It seems to know not to index the ASP code, or else the contents of the variables would still be indexed, so it seems like it has the potential to parse the code before indexing.
I want to create a page that uses a horizontal alphabetical index such as
a b c .....
so when the user clicks on a letter they go to that section listing the manufacturer names beginning with that letter.
My question is that since I am pulling the names from a database, what is the best way to create the sections for each letter? My first thought is a basic and overkill solution creating a record set for each letter. Would I use arrays?
I know I could just create a separate page for each letter to display the corresponding entries. Would rather have one page at this time.
I'm building a site which runs on 4 templates, each a different colour. I would like to pull in different content into each template using ASP.NET, similar to the php version of index.php?page=content.
I've not programmed in ASP before so am hoping someone can either supply me with a script or point me in the right direction.
I have a basic asp page running that is very slow it has to crunch some info
and when a user hits submit it can take a minute or more for a response. So
what I did was call a second page that should show a gif that is asking them
to be patient.
Unfortunately this never shows (See below). I have tried
other ways as well, but I have been unsuccessful in getting the gif to show.
This has to be simple but I'm not a skilled asp developer so I don;t know
how to do it. Anybody have any ideas?
The web page has page1.asp, page2.asp, page3.asp, etc... However, When we type http://www.myserver.com, and go to different pages, the URL will be unchanged. How to do that? Usually, it will be http://www.myserver.com/page1.asp, http://www.myserver.com/page2.asp, etc..., with the actual page.

Some of JPG files sitting in the same folder show up OK on an HTML page,
while the other do not as if they are not there or their name is misspelt.
Tried low-upper case in an ASP page, and in the files names - same result
Then I noticed that the same files do not show up in the preview pane in the
Windows Explorer althought they still are described by Windows Explorer as
valid JPEG files.
These "wrong" files are not necessarily bigger then the good ones and in
Microsoft Photo Editor they all (good and bad) show up well and they all are
118 Pixels/cm and True Color (24 bit)
What might be wrong with these files? If there is not direct answer, perhaps spmeone recommend me a correct newsgroup?
