Tips for Index Server and ASP.NET required

Hi all,

Just a small question for ya all. Does anybody have any tips on Index Server in combo with asp.net.
I need to search in Word documents and PDF files. These files will be uploaded and then index server should index them. Beyond this point I am lost as I have absolutely no experience with Index Server.

 

Any tips, links, hint, articles, code examples are welcome :-)

Read the Indexing Service documentation. It is actually very good, but, you should pack a lunch, it isn't light.

Cool, Fabrice linked to me :)

Anyway word documents will work out of the box, and you can access the index via ADO.Net as "normal" (the query is slightly different, but I did try to illustrate that in English)

Indexing acrobat needs an extension, available from http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/product.jsp?product=1&platform=Windows

If a file format manufacturer provides an iFilter, like Adobe, then searching is easy. You do have to tell the index to index unknown file types, but hey, it's just a check box.

What I eventually did was sql full text indexing and uploading the files inside sql server. With the adobe object it works very good any file can be indexed and queries.

I didn't have to tick any checkboxes or whatever. Just mind that it must be set to single threaded and it works like charm..
