Configure Windows Indexing Service for Performance : Part 1 Introduction
By Stephen Bucaro
The Windows Indexing Service provides you with the ability to perform advanced searches
on directories located on your computer and on shared directories on the network. The
Indexing Service was introduced with IIS (Internet Information Services) and is now
installed with Windows 2000 and Windows XP.
The Indexing Service is not started by default on a Windows 2000 professional computer.
If you want the Indexing service to start automatically, select
"Start | Settings | Control Panel | Administrative Tools" and open the "Computer Management"
application. In the left pane of the "Computer Management" window, select "Services", then
in the right pane, right-click on "Indexing Service". The "Indexing Services Properties"
dialog box will appear.
In the "Indexing Services Properties" dialog box, on the "General" tab select "Automatic"
from the "Startup type:" drop-down list. Under "Service stautus:" click on the "Start"
button. A flurry of hard disk activity may begin as the Indexing Service builds or
updates the index. The Indexing service creates an index (also called a catalog) organized
in a way that makes it quick and easy to search. The Indexing Service also records the
documents properties, for example its date of creation and last modified date.
The Search application can be accessed by right-clicking on any folder and selecting
"Search..." in the popup menu. You can search for file names or you can search for text
within files using keywords, or phases. Queries can use wildcards (?, *) and boolean
operators (AND OR and NOT). When a user searches an NTFS volume, the Indexing service
will return in the results only the files the user has permission to see.
The documents created by most applications contain formatting and control information,
for example a webpage contains html tags, a Word document contains rtf tags. The Indexing
Service uses filters to extract the content from the formatting and control information.
Documents with extensions for which filters are not installed will not be indexed
by default. If you want to index everything, open the "Computer Management" application
as described above, and select "Services ...", then right-click on "Indexing Service" and
select "Properties" in the popup menu. In the "Indexing Services Properties" dialog
box which appears, on the "Generation" tab, check the checkbox next to "Index Files
With Unknown Extensions".
The Indexing service is designed to run continuously and requires no maintenance.
After it is setup, it will automatically update the index. When a file changes, the OS
sends a change notification to the Indexing Service, causing it to update the index.
Folders on remote computers are scanned periodically.
The Indexing Service uses a fair amount of disk space (approximately 30% the amount of the
original files). If the shared directories on the network are large, it can consume a
considerable portion of the computer's memory and processor cycles. In Part 2 of this
article, we will explore several options for configuring the Indexing Service to improve
performance.
