Indexing Newsgroups with Microsoft Index Server

Users can use Microsoft Index Server to search for newsgroup articles that contain specified text strings. Index Server periodically updates a catalog that users search using a custom Web page.

For more information on Index Server concepts, see the Index Server online documentation.

To enable indexing in Microsoft NNTP Service:

  1. Using either Internet Service Manager or Internet Service Manager (HTML), select the Home Directory property sheet.
  2. Select the Index news content check box.
  3. If you have newsgroups located in one or more virtual directories, select the virtual directory and choose Properties from the Action menu.
  4. On the Virtual Directory property sheet, Select the Index news content check box.
  5. Repeat this process for each virtual directory.
