The AddScopeToQuery method adds a search path to the Query property of the Query object.

Do not confuse this with ScopeAdm, which is the Indexing Service administration object that defines the paths to index.

Syntax

objUtility.AddScopeToQuery(objQuery, strPath[,strDepth])

objUtility

The utility object.

objQuery

Required. The Query object using this scope.

strPath

Required. String. The physical or virtual path of the scope to add.

strDepth

Optional. String. Case-insensitive. Whether the scope covers only the named directory ("shallow") or the named directory and all its subdirectories ("deep").

Remarks

When you first create an instance of the Query object or when you reset it, Query defaults to the entire catalog. The first time you call AddScopeToQuery, the specified scope replaces the default value. Subsequent calls to AddScopeToQuery append the additional scopes to a collection of scopes.

Example

' Replace default value with a specific scope. 
objUtility.AddScopeToQuery objQuery, "/sources", "deep"
