Querying against catalog created on a remote server

[Vasantha peddireddy]

Hi,

I am using Microsoft's indexing service to search for content in my website.
How can I query against remote server catalog? What is the path I need to
use? I need to call a catalog which is created on a d/f sever and on my page
which does the search.

Here is the query I am using in my asp.net page

Dim strCatalog As String
strCatalog = "TextSearch"

Dim strQuery As String

strQuery = "Select doctitle, vpath, path, rank, characterization from
SCOPE() where FREETEXT(Contents, '" + TextBox1.Text + "') order by rank desc "
Dim connString As String = "Provider=MSIDXS.1;Integrated Security .='';Data
Source='" & strCatalog & "'"

Please help!
