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.

 

The DBPROP_MACHINE property specifies the names of the computer(s) on which a query is to be processed.

Summary
Property Set DBPROPSET_CIFRMWRKCORE_EXT
Property ID DBPROP_MACHINE
Value Type DBTYPE_ARRAY | DBTYPE_BSTR
Default "." (the local machine)

 

Remarks

If more than one catalog or machine is specified, the DBPROP_MACHINE, DBPROP_CI_CATALOG_NAME, DBPROP_CI_INCLUDE_SCOPES, and DBPROP_CI_SCOPE_FLAGS properties must all have the same number of entries, or the count of scopes and flags can be either the count of catalogs and machines or 1.

When more than one machine or catalog is specified, the query is executed on multiple machines and the results are merged on the local machine.

Do not include preceding slashes with machine names. A correct example would be "MyMachine", not "\\MyMachine".

The machine name "." refers to the local machine. If the name of the local machine is specified, the query is treated as a remote query.
