Windows Search equivalent to Indexing Services "vpath" and "characterication"

Question

I'm trying to move a website that was on:

• Windows 2003,
• IIS 6, and
• Indexing Services

to:

• Windows 2008,
• IIS 7, and
• Windows Search

It's Windows Search that's giving me a problem. I've set up a Windows Search to index the physical folder that contains the site, and I can query for file names, but what is the new equivalent of vpath and characterization?

None of these seem to be the answer.

Answer 1

Query the "directory","filename" properties from the Indexing Service. Then, using ASP Classic / VbScript, with RS representing a recordset:

Function MapURL( Path )
' opposite of server.mappath - takes a filesystem path and turns it into a url
     Dim AppPath
     AppPath = Server.MapPath("/")
     path =  Replace(path,apppath,"",1,-1,1)
     path =  Replace(path,"\","/",1,-1,1)
     MapURL = path
End Function

Dim vpath
do while not rs.EOF
   vpath = rs("directory")  & "/" &  rs("filename")
   response.write MapURL(vpath)
   rs.movenext
loop

Based on ASP.NET code from http://geekswithblogs.net/AlsLog/archive/2006/08/03/87032.aspx

Answer 2

characterization = System.Search.AutoSummary
