I'm just about to start a project that needs to combine the results of a SQL
Server query with the results of an Index Server query. The basic idea is
that the user enters/selects a bunch of search criteria on a form. Most of
the criteria selected by the user will be used to select records from the
database - standard WHERE clause stuff - but the user can also enter
free-text that should be searched for in associated uploaded documents. The
documents are sitting in the file-system with file-name pointers only stored
in the database (not the document). Only records where the associated
free-text is found in the documents should be returned. I'm new to Index
Server and am wondering how is this done. Any good references/tutes?

There are some good references in the Index server documentation itself, or
on MSDN. I have done index queries using Oledb driver for Index server, but
not combined with SQL server.
One idea is to create a linked server from SQL Server -- not sure if this is
even possible. But if it is, then you could query them together and combine
results. http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;198493
The above article has precisely what you are looking for -- querying index
server from a SQL server. Just add another query and union the results.

Alan,
Manohar, here's an example of both a local IS for the files and UNION'ed
with SQL FTS:
use master

EXEC sp_addlinkedsrvlogin 'Monarch', 'FALSE', NULL, 'abc', ''
go
-- test IS query
select * from OpenQuery(Monarch, 'Select Directory,
FileName, size, Create, Write From SCOPE() Where size <= 200')
go
-- MSIDXS combined or UNIONed with SQL FTS query...
select * from titles where contains(*, 'books')
union
select * from OpenQuery(Monarch,

from SCOPE() where CONTAINS(Contents,''Index'')> 0 ')

I've been a bit slack in replying and haven't tested any of this yet but all
this talk of UNIONing is getting me worried. Basically I'm looking for JOIN
functionality, where a row of data in my Applicants table includes the
path-name to a resume and covering letter stored in the file-system. I'm
hoping to query IS for content in the documents (keyword search), JOIN these
results with the results of a normal ...WHERE xxx LIKE 'xxx' AND yyy =
'yyy'... (etc.) query of the Applicant row data itself, and then display a
row for each Applicant record that satisfied both the SQL and IS search
criteria.
I'll have a read of the references provided but thought I'd add the above in
the meantime just to make sure I haven't misrepresented what I'm trying to
do. Apologies if this is all explained in the links provided.

Since you can UNION across databases, you can JOIN as well. I don't see any

Thanks for the reply (again). What does IS use as a key value - is it common
to take the filename of the document as found by IS and (in my case) join
that with the value of the filename column in SQL?

Depends on your table definition in SQL, although file path/name would be an
obvious choice.
