This demo assumes you've already installed Option Pak 4.0 and installed the Index Server. The documentation provided my Option Pak 4.0 is very good. I've always wondered what this "INDEX SERVER" was that came with Option Pak 4. After reading the doc's and experiencing its power, its one of the most under-rated tools used! Also Chap. 18 of Pro. Active Server Pages 2.0 does a good job of explaining this.
Below is an example of the search page you can use to quickly make your site a searchable one! Thanks to the demo Stephen Wynkoop (http://www.swynk.com) provided it got me started. He goes into more detail of setting this up. I did this demo to provide how to use the "UTILITY" Object to provide scope to your search.
Also provided two documents that are in Option Pak 4 I found very useful. Below is a sample search page and results page with showing how to narrow the scope of your query using the "Utility Object" and the Methods "Deep" and "Shallow".
These documents are available in the Option Pak 4 documentation.
Click here for the List of Property Names -- These properties are always available for queries. Additional properties may also be available depending on the configuration of the Web server.
Click here for the Utility Object The utility object is an ActiveX server-side control, which means it is an automation object with a dual interface supporting IDispatch.

As businesses grow increasingly dependent upon Web applications, these complex entities grow more difficult to secure. Most companies equip their Web sites with firewalls, Secure Sockets Layer (SSL), and network and host security, but the majority of attacks are on applications themselves – and these technologies cannot prevent them. This paper explains what you can do to help protect your organization, and it discusses an approach for improving your organization’s Web application security.
