Read-Only Variables Available in .Htx Files

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 following variables are available for use in .htx files. These are set based upon the results of the search. In addition, the other .idq variables mentioned below can be used in the .htx file. In the detail section of the .htx file, any output columns mentioned in the CiColumns parameter can also be used.
