I quick perusal of Microsoft's Web site reveals that this service is
installed as part of Internet Information Server and/or Index Server. It is
very Web-oriented, meaning that an HTML "search" page would programmatically
query the index and produce a result. Index Server (a separate product) has
built-in querying.
I don't know if the IIS Indexing service can index anything other
than what's directly under wwwroot (the main Web site parent directory). I
looked at the man pages for swish-e and it will index anything that is under
single parent directory (which could be ".\users"). There doesn't appear
to
be any way to index two independent trees, though.
You can create multiple indexes of different directory trees and then
you can combine them into one index. I've never done this, but the
documentation says it can be done with some caveats. It can also do http
indexing wich I use to generate indexes for various intranet sites
around the company, http indexing is not as fast as file indexing, but
more flexable.
I do wish that swish-e supported incremental indexing and you could have
it only re-index certain documents. Possibly someday.
