Indexing Services utilities?

Just started to work with Indexing Service on our Windows 2003 Server with
218.000 Word dokuments and Pdf (old WP files) etc.
I started the indexeing and added the different shares etc. Al seems to work
wel. The Catalog displays 221977 docs and some 11 wordlists and 1 saved index.
But i did a dandom check on some old documents and some are found and others
not. (i checked the 'For fast searching' checkmark on the directories)
Is there a utility which i can use to see what files and directories are
indexed?
What other possibilties are there to check the Indexing service?
thx

Open MMC from the run prompt, and add the following snap-in, indexing
services.

Then just explore the indexed folders etc. It's not really a lot of
information you can see, but it's the only thing until now. I think MS has
abandoned specializing indexing for IIS at _server side_. They specialize at
Live search services (from the outside!)

Re: Indexing Services utilities?

To bad, Yes I already found the Snap in, but it doesn't provide much info.:-(
Perhaps another question you could answer:
'We have 1 File server with the indexing service enable.
And w've got 2 TS witch 50 users and roaming profiles.
Is there an easy way (besides the dreadfull web based QUERY.ASP) to use the
Index build on the fileserver from the Terminal servers?
Or do i need to build on each TS a separate Index with the Indexing service
on the TS?
thx

Hi,

Indexing service, can only index the local computer.
So no, what you need is an index on each separate computer.
If the searchable information is the same on all web servers, you can modify
the query.asp that it is 'framed' and to the single server that has an
index, but points to a local location. It can be done.

Regards
