The Index Server Companion is a tool created to extend the functionality of Microsoft's Index Server so that it is able to index and search content from remote websites hosted on any web server (including Unix/Linux/Apache), [sample search] and also from ODBC databases.

As such it can be used as a low cost alternative to Microsoft's Site Server 3.0 Search or the search facilities of SharePoint Portal Server. [View Feature List].

The Index Server Companion contains full documentation in HTML Help Format and sample source code for ASP (VBScript) and ASP.NET (both VB.NET and C#).

Index Server Companion features
  • Enables Index Server (Windows NT 4.0 Server) or Indexing Service (Windows 2 Server) to allow searching of any web server or ODBC compliant database.
  • Integrated web robot extracts content from websites. Includes support for robots.txt files and robots meta tags. Robot can negotiate sites using HTML Frames.
  • Optional ability to retrieve URLs containing QueryStrings.
  • Ability to retrieve individual URLs from servers.
  • Ability to specify crawl depth of web robot.
  • Support for crawling websites using ASP/ASP.NET sessions.
  • Ability to retrieve binary files from servers, including Adobe Acrobat PDF, Microsoft Office documents and even images.
  • Ability to save content from web crawls to any ODBC database (i.e. Access or SQL Server), which can potentially allow you to create a website search facility using SQL (SQL Server full-text catalog searching recommended).
  • Automatic uploading of saved content to a FTP site.
  • Ability to save content from web crawls into an XML file.
  • Support for full or incremental project updates of both web and database content, meaning that Index Server only has to re-index content that has changed.
  • Configuration of the Index Server Companion is through the editing of a plain text configuration file.
  • Index Server Companion can be run from the command line, and scheduled using the Windows Task Scheduler.
  • Full reporting of activity to an external plain text log file.
  • Flexible output options mean that administrative access to Index Server is not necessarily required.
  • Facility for creating a basic table of contents page for the sites that are crawled

    Requirements
  • The Index Server Companion can be used on a machine running Microsoft Windows 95 or any subsequent version of Windows. Windows NT 4.0 or Windows 2 is recommended.
  • Access to a machine running Index Server (Windows NT 4.0 Server) or Indexing Service (Windows 2 Server) is also required. The Index Server Companion does not need to run on the same machine (or even the same network) as the machine running Index Server.
  • Microsoft's Index Server/Indexing Service can be used within a variety of programming environments. The Index Server Companion is supplied with source code that demonstrates Index Server Companion and Index Server usage with ASP (VBScript) and ASP.NET (C#).

    Limitations
  • Robots.txt file parsing: The parsing of the robots.txt files is not yet completely compliant with the Robots Exclusion Standard specification described at http://www.robotstxt.org/wc/norobots.html.
  • Non-HTML content: At the present time the Index Server Companion is unable to extract content from Adobe Acrobat (PDF) or Microsoft Office documents, although the files can be saved to disk.
