Beginning with version 3.0, Indexing Service indexes and queries, by default, all files that occur in the "system" catalog, in addition to virtual Webs in the "Web" catalog. This extends the usefulness of the search facilities of Indexing Service to a broader range of scripts and applications. This section describes how to programmatically use Indexing Service when the primary emphasis of a task involves file systems rather than Web servers. This section consists of the following topics:

• Programming with Scripts
• Programming with Applications
• File System Samples

For information about applying Indexing Service to Web servers, see Using Indexing Service with Web Servers. For summary information about programming for Indexing Service in general — including tasks, languages, APIs, and tools — see Programming for Indexing Service.
