(klaus_salchner) In today's enterprises, different types of data are sitting in various data stores. Relational data is most likely to be in a SQL Server database or Oracle database. Many enterprise applications have their own database with its own data and data model. User and account information reside in a directory like Active Directory or Active Directory Application Mode.

Each enterprise has large amounts of files like Word documents, Excel Spreadsheets, HTML documents, etc. which are sitting on a file system. It's a common practice to use Microsoft Indexing Server to index all the files sitting on the file system or a web server. Microsoft Indexing Server creates an indexing catalog and also provides a SQL query interface which enables you to simply search the index.
