IIS Indexing PDF's

Hi everyone, I'm hving a bit of trouble with IIS6 on win2k3...

I've made a site, and I want part or the site be able to search through the contents of a directory. The dir will just have pdfs in it, and I want to be able to go through them all looking for particular strings...

I've got Index Servic running, and it has indexed the correct directory, and I've instelled the Adobe Ifilter, to allow indexing of pdf files...

All seems to be fine so far, and it even works when I click on hte "Query the catalogue" link in the snap in! So it is going through the pdfs fine...

My problem [query] is this...
I found a link to [ http://www.planet-source-code.com/v...&txtCodeId=6209 ] somewhere in devarticles, and in this document, the author says

Quote:

Find the physical directory that contains the queryhit.htm page (I think it's in Inetpub/samples/search/ but I'll have to check tomorrow.)* Open up the queryhit.htm, queryhit.htx, and queryhit.idq files that are used in the Index Server example query using your Interdev 6.0 and look at the code.

The whole point was to edit the files, to make them fit your site... I have no such directory, and even searching my computer for files of *.htx" extentions yields no results...

So, basically, am I just wasting my time trying to get the catalogue search thingy to be part of my site, or is it actually possible?

Thanks for reading!

<edit>Sorry for rambling, but it's all quite tricky to explian! I hope you understood, and can help!!</edit>

Just in case anyone's interested, this is the ASP script I came up with to access the Indexed catalogue from my site...
Feel free to butcher away...

Code:

<%@ Language="VBScript" %>
<% Option Explicit %>
<html>
<body>
...
Suchen nach...<br>
<form action="searchpdfs.asp" method="get" style="display:inline;">
    <input type="text" name="query" size="40" />
    <input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>
</center>
<%
Dim strQuery
Dim objQuery
Dim rstResults
Dim objField

strQuery = Request.QueryString("query")
If strQuery <> "" Then
    Set objQuery = Server.CreateObject("ixsso.Query")

    With objQuery
        .Catalog    = "datasheets"
        .Query      = "%"&strQuery&"%"
        .MaxRecords = 100
        .SortBy = "rank [d]"
        .Columns = "filename, path, size, write, " _
            & "characterization, " _
            & "rank, hitcount"
    End With

    Set rstResults = objQuery.CreateRecordset("nonsequential")
    Set objQuery = Nothing

    If rstResults.EOF Then
        Response.Write "Sorry. No results found."
    Else
        Response.Write "<p><strong>"
        Response.Write rstResults.RecordCount
        Response.Write "</strong> Ergebnisse:</p>"

        Do While Not rstResults.EOF
%>
<div style="font-family:tahoma; font-size:12px; color:black; text-align:left; border:1px solid #808080; background:#bcc6ca; padding:4px;" onMouseOver="this.style.background='#c2d9e4';" onMouseOut="this.style.background='#bcc6ca';">
	<div style="font-size:14px; font-weight:bold;"><%=rstResults.Fields("rank")%> ~ <%=rstResults.Fields("filename")%></div>
	<div style="font-size:14px;"><%=rstResults.Fields("characterization")%></div>
	<div style="font-size:14px;"><%=CurrentURL%>/<%=strTempPath%></div>
	<div style="font-size:14px; font-weight:bold;"><%=rstResults.Fields("size")%> | <%=rstResults.Fields("hitcount")%> | <%=rstResults.Fields("write")%></div>
</div><br />
<%
            rstResults.MoveNext
        Loop
    End If
    Set rstResults = Nothing
End If
%>
</body>
</html>
