CI_STATE_* Constants
[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.]
Reflects the state of the current activities of Indexing Service, including merges, scans, and performance indicators on the computer running the service.
| Constant/value | Description |
|---|---|
|
An annealing merge is in process. |
|
The service is paused to conserve battery lifetime. The threshold for entering this state depends on the value of the MinWordlistBattery registry entry. |
|
Some documents in the index have changed and Indexing Service needs to determine which have been added, changed, or deleted. |
|
The level of input/output (I/O) activity on the computer running Indexing Service is relatively high. The threshold for entering this state depends on the value of the MaxWordlistIo registry entry. In this state, indexing is paused, but queries continue to be accepted. |
|
The catalog is in the process of being merged for the purpose of migrating the catalog. |
|
Most of the virtual memory of the computer running Indexing Service is in use. The threshold for entering this state depends on the value of the MinWordlistMemory registry entry. In this state, indexing is paused, but queries continue to be accepted. |
|
A master merge is in process. |
|
The master merge that was in progress has been paused. |
|
The service has been manually paused. |
|
The service has not read the USN journal from one or more volumes being indexed. The index might not be up to date. |
|
The service is starting from the last saved state and is in the process of recovering. |
|
A scan is in process. |
|
A shadow merge is in process. |
|
The service is starting. Queries can be run, but scanning and notification have not been enabled yet. |
|
The service is paused due to high activity by the user (keyboard or mouse). The threshold for entering this state depends on the value of the WordlistUserIdle registry entry. In this state, indexing is paused, but queries are still accepted. |
