Indexing Services 2003 Compatibility Question

Hello,
Is Indexing Services 2003 compatible with Windows Server 2012 R2?  (We have a legacy application that uses it still.)
If so, how do you configure Indexing Services 2003 in Windows Server 2012?
Also is Indexing Services 2003 the same thing as Windows Search Service?
Thanks

Hi,
Indexing Service is an indexing solution that is included with Windows Server 2008 and was part of previous releases of Windows. We could not install it on Windows Server 2012 R2.
Windows Search Service offers several enhancements over Indexing Service, especially in the areas of extensibility, usability, and performance. If you have applications that require Indexing Service, we recommend that you upgrade them to be compatible with
Windows Search Service.
For more detailed information, please see:
Windows Search/Server 2008 R2

  • IFilter - Index service gets stuck on PDF files

    Hello, I'm running iFilter v6.0 on Windows Server 2003. The server takes a couple seconds to index a text file, but as soon as it runs into a PDF it gets stuck. It will never finish indexing the PDF. If I try to delete the PDF, I get an error saying the file is in use. I'm able to delete the file once I stop the index service. I really need to index PDF files for our website.
    I already tried stopping the index service, uninstalling iFilter, rebooting, reinstall iFilter, reboot, empty the index catalog, start the index service, and finally reindex.

    hello Ira:

  • Adobe Reader X and Indexing Service - pdf content not searchable

    Install Adobe Reader X on a Windows 2003 machine with Indexing Service installed. Create a catalog (folder) and point indexing service at it so that documents are indexed. Verify indexing is working with a simple text file. New copy a pdf file into the folder. You will see in Computer Management the file appear to be indexed. Now simply query the catalog - the file contents are not indexed. The iFilter that gets installed should allow indexing service to index pdf file contents and return search results when the catalog is queried.

    Hi MT.Freelance
    The way that "Welcome Pages" are done in Acrobat X has changed from Acrobat 9, what you are seeing looks like a bug related to these changes.
    If you would like to log a bug on this issue the form for bug reports can be found here  https://www.adobe.com/cfusion/mmform/index.cfm?name=wishform&promoid=E WQQL

  • Ifilter not working with Microsoft Indexing Service

    I'm running the Adobe Reader 9.3.1 on our Windows 2003 Server utilizing the Indexing Service.  Our indexing was working until something changed and we lost all indexing for any pdf.  Other documents were operating fine.
    I ran the install for the latest reader believing that maybe some other update had caused the problem.  I've set up a test environment with a clean Windows 2003 Standard Server utilizing the Indexing Service and successfully recreated the issue.  On the clean server, I installed Adobe Reader 9.3.1, created a catalog with 5 pdf files in the target folder, indexed the files, and attempted to search using the query tool available for managing the Indexing Service.
    Adobe ifilter v6 solves the problem but does not generate the Characterization (Abstracts) nor is the VPath available.  I've been at this for two days trying different alternatives, searching the web, and coming up with a whole lot of nothing.
    Any thoughts, hints, or ideas appreciated!

    Update: I uninstalled 9.3.1, installed 8.2.0, manually added an item to the registry and I'm indexing and searching again.  I had manually added the line for the 9.3.1 install as well but to no avail.
    Here's the working edit
    HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\ContentIndex
    Multi-String Value:  DLLsToRegister
    Add "C:\Program Files\Adobe\Reader 8.0\Reader\AcroRdIF.dll" to the end of the string as an extra line.
    Viola, you're working again.
    By the way, indexing doesn't work in 9.3.0 either.

  • Microsoft Indexing Service and Dynamic PDF (XFA)

    I setup Indexing Services in Windwos Server 2003, and I confirmed that it can index (out of the box) Static PDF (created LiveCycle Desinger), in addition to other file types.
    However, the Dynamic PDF (also created with LiveCycle Desinger) are not indexed, or they do not show in the search result. Any one knows how to index also the dynamic PDF files under Microsoft
    Indexing Services?
    Tarek.

    I installed "ifilter60.exe" on Windwos 7 (work laptop) and also installed "IFilterShop_XmlFilter_SE_1_0_Eval.exe" to index XML content. It is clear that Dynamic PDF is not indexed. Luckly, I am storing XML Data in a separate file for each PDF, which will be very helpful. I can search files using XML content instead, and since I am following a standard naming convension, I can easily relate the found results in XML to PDF files.
    See snapshots below:
    but, when I search against file name, I can get results, but still PDF content is not visible:
    Hope my fidings will be of help to others.

  • Indexing .cfm files using Indexing Service on windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0

    Hi All,
    Anyone knows why .cfm files would not get indexed by Indexing Service on windows server 2008 and IIS 7.0.  This is a coldfusion website using Indexing Service for site search.  There are a lot of cfm pages indexed as unknown files.   Any clues on how this can be fixed?
    Thanks!

    You might try editing your registry so that *.cfm, *.cfc, and other ColdFusion related files are treated as text files by the Windows search feature.  See link below.

  • Allow indexing service to index this disk for fast file searching

    Hello,
    I'm using Oracle on Win 2000, I have lately found out that the option "Compress drive to save disk space"
    is not supported in Oracle.
    When I've opened the drive specifications on the properties dialog, I found also another option called "Allow indexing service to index this disk for fast file searching".
    My question are;
    1. Should I turn it off?
    2. Same question when the indexed directories does not include Oracle files?
    3. Same question, when the indexing service is set to off?
    Thanks,
    Tal Olier ([email protected])

    If this is a production machine, I'd definitely turn this off. Hopefully, no one is going to be searching for particular files on a production server-- they'll know where to go. You probably don't want any unnecessary background processes using up CPU or RAM either.
    If this is a development machine, the developer may be searching for files with some frequency. If that's the case, it may be worth it to keep this service enabled.
    I'm not aware of any Oracle issues when this service is running, but I'm paranoid enough not to trust it on a production box. If you're running on a dev box, you shouldn't have problems, particularly if you're not indexing Oracle files.

  • Indexing PDFs with legacy Indexing Service

    I have a .NET application that uses the old legacy Indexing Service on Windows Server 2003 SP2 (32-bit). What do I need to install to make it index PDFs? I've installed XI Reader (as I understood that the iFilter was built into this now?) and I've restarted Indexing Service and done a full re-sync, but it still doesn't seem to be finding any PDFs (also tried a reboot).
    Thanks

    It appears that the answer was to uninstall XI and install 9.5. I believe Adobe made changes to the iFilter from 10.x onwards so that it no longer supports an old method that is used by Indexing Service. This thread was useful: http://forums.adobe.com/message/5115337#5115337

    G'day Folxs
    Just installed Forte as a Simple Server on a Digital UNIX (v4.0d) box (being
    a VMSbot it was much easier than I thought). We want to use it to interface
    with an existing web client. The Forte part is to provide us a scalable

    I'm having trouble finding media that contains C++ v5.4.-006 for the Unix
    box. Does anyone know of/has used higher versions of C++ without too much
    drama? How about v5.7 or even v6.1? We will be using extensive C++
    interfacing to existing web pages!
    NB: The current web system client is compiled using EGCS 2.91.66.

  • Adobe Reader X refuses to install - indexing service filter daemon

    I have closed all applications, but Adobe Reader X refuses to install, saying that something called "indexing service filter daemon" is open.  How do I get around this?

    This is how I got around this install issue:
    During install with the Indexing Service Filter Daemon message still open;
    1) right click on My Computer
    2) select Manage
    3) double click Services and Applications
    4) right click Indexing Service
    5) select pause
    6) in the Adobe X install message window, select Retry
    It will have you reboot after install and it should automatically restart the service that you just paused.  If not, repeat the steps and select Start instead of Pause.
    Hope that helps.

  • Adobe iFilter 6 with MS indexing service on asian language

    Hi All:
    I found the search hit for iFilter 6 on Win2003 (ENG) is much lower than on Win2000 (ENG) with indexing service. (I am testing on Tradition Chinese Characters search). In addition, iFilter is not bundle on Acrobat Reader 8.X, but it show no improvement on Chinese search. Is that any reason why?

  • How to create custom index service?

    Hi, all.
    I was trying to create a custom index service. When I go edit mode in index management service, only the portal RolesSearchservice shows in the index services list. I cannot add my own. Please advise.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan.

    Hi, John.
    I have already got trex up and running. We are implementing a federated search with another application. This is already working on our existing EP6. Now we need to move it to our EP7. According to our old doc, we need to create a custom index service under index management service. However, I am not sure where the index service list comes from and how I can add our own. There is only an "edit" button. But there is no add or create button on it. I guess I don't really know how that works. The documentation on help.sap.com is not helping as usual.
    Thanks,
    Jonathan.

  • Silent fail with Flashbuilder due to Windows indexing service!

    Hi,
    since I installed Flashbuilder b1 in April I got again and again silent fails.
    I could change by code, but sometimes all changes where ignored. That was very frustrating.
    Last week I switched the index service off, and voila no more problems since then!!!
    It seems to lock some files, that seems to block eclipse somehow.
    You can deativate it for Vista under
    right mouse on Hardisk Partition->Properties
    deselect the the checkbox "Index this drive for faster searching"
    Confirm it for all folder.
    Hope this will help someone!
    Martin Zach

    Hi David,
    you can test it if you like:
    Switch on indexing for your project folder. Within 7 days you will get problems for shure!
    I realized it because I got the problem again, that Flashbuilder stopped to compile my new code and used the old compiled files.
    Then I left for an appointment for about 3 hours. After I returned, I tried it again and then it works! I haven't changed any of my code or configuration.
