.Idq File Errors
Note
Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.
These messages are returned by use of the CiErrorMessage variable, accessible from .htx error pages.
