IixssoQuery interface
[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.]
The Query object of Indexing Service supports methods and properties that allow you to formulate a query and define an ActiveX Data Objects (ADO) recordset to manage and display the results of the query.
The programmatic identifier (ProgID) for the query object is the literal value IXSSO.Query.2. The version-independent ProgID is IXSSO.Query.
