Hello,

I am facing problems in registering my protocol handler for Windows
Desktop Search.

I have written a protocol handler implementing ISearchProtocol,
ISearchProtocolOptions. Only Init of ISearchProtocol gets called, but
GetDefaultCrawlScope of ISearchProtocolOptions is not called by WDS.
Therefore i am not able to call AddProtocol().

Hence i am not able to register my protocol handler.

Do i need to do some registry settings ? If so what all?

I do not intend to implement any filter, i would like to use existing
filters which can filter .txt files. Is this possible?

I need this information to proceed, and documentation is not good for
WDS. So any help is highly appriciated!

Ganesh

 Honestly I don't know the anser to this, but a lot of it will depend on what
version of WDS you are working with (2.6.x or 3.x).

Also you may want to ask that question at
http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowForum.aspx?ForumID=127&SiteID=1 as
well.
Never hurts to get the question in front of as many people as possible.

hth,

JR

Hi Ganesh,
I am supposed to customize WDS in a way that it should crawl web pages using
HTTP address in WDS search location. In order to accomplish the task I also
have to implement ISearchProtocol, IUrlAccessor and few more.

As you have mentioned that you have already implemented ISearchProtocol.
Hence can I expect some help from your side?.

Any help is highly appreciated.

Regards,
Vivek Singh.
