An ASP VBScript front-end for Microsoft's Indexing Server

Dixcart Retriever

Retriever is an front-end for Microsoft Indexing Server, allowing your staff to search all documents on your system. The meat of the technology is built into all Windows Servers, and just needs to be installed/enabled then Retriever added on top to be able to search.

For Retriever to do anything, you must have installed the Indexing Service and created a catalog. Indexing server can handle many file types through additional iFilters which can be downloaded for free or paid for.

Indexing Server will obey file permissions, so if you set up IIS to use pass-through authentication, you can index your entire file store and users will only get results that they have access to.

For some more details, see my answer on Stack Overflow, which led to this being open sourced.

Install

Create a site in IIS and drop the files in. All settings you need should be in /includes/settings.inc.asp and are documented in there. To use as a search provider in IE, you will need to modify /assets/files/ExampleProvider.xml.
