Extensions for 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.
Columns can be either a standard Indexing Service property or a new property defined by a SET PROPERTYNAME statement.
Standard properties available for all documents include the following.
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| All | Matches words, phrases, and any property. |
| Contents | Words and phrases in the document. |
| Filename | Name of the document. |
| Size | Document size. |
| Write | Last time the document was modified. |
A query can also use ActiveX property values. Documents created by most ActiveX-aware applications can be queried for the following properties.
| Property Name | Description |
|---|---|
| DocTitle | Title of the document. |
| DocSubject | Subject of the document. |
| DocAuthor | Author of the document. |
| DocKeywords | Keywords for the document. |
| DocComments | Comments about the document. |
There is also a list of additional standard Indexing Service properties that are available in queries. For the list, see Default Property Names for a Web Catalog.
