1.7 Versioning and Capability Negotiation
Windows Search Protocol has its own version ID that is used to communicate capabilities between the server and the client. There are two parts to this version ID: the version number, which is held in the least significant 2 bytes; and flags that are added to this number, comprising the remaining bytes. This version ID is added to the CPMConnectIn and CPMConnectOut messages, and can be used to check the versioning of the server or client throughout the transaction.
Starting with the release of Windows Search 4.0, messages include a checksum that is validated by the server. The version number of this is 0x109.
If the version number is greater than 0x109, this means that the clients include a checksum in all of their messages. Servers check all of the client's messages against the checksum if such a version is given.
0x10000 is added to the version ID and is used when identifying whether the operating system is 32-bit or 64-bit. Offsets are changed depending on this aspect of the architecture of the operating system.
