Output Query Properties

Note

Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.

 

This code segment uses the Echo method of the WScript object to output the properties of the query that the script set earlier. When the script is run as a Windows application using wscript.exe, each Echo method produces a dialog box with its specified output. When run with cscript.exe at the command prompt, each Echo method produces a line of output.

WScript.Echo " Columns = " & objQ.Columns
WScript.Echo " Query = " & objQ.Query
WScript.Echo " GroupBy = " & objQ.GroupBy
WScript.Echo " Catalog = " & objQ.Catalog
WScript.Echo " CiScope = " & objQ.CiScope
WScript.Echo " CiFlags = " & objQ.CiFlags
WScript.Echo " OptimizeFor = " & objQ.OptimizeFor)
WScript.Echo " AllowEnumeration = " & CStr(objQ.AllowEnumeration)
WScript.Echo " MaxRecords = " & objQ.MaxRecords

Up to this point, the output when running the script with cscript.exe is the following.

 Columns = filename, directory, size, write
 Query = #filename *.asp
 GroupBy = directory[a]
 Catalog = system
 CiScope = \
 CiFlags = DEEP
 OptimizeFor = recall,hitcount
 AllowEnumeration = TRUE
 MaxRecords = 20000
