Discuss the difference between the index attribute and the Windows search service.

What will be an ideal response?


The index attribute and accompanying Indexing Service are legacy features for continuity with earlier operating systems, such as Windows Server 2003 and Windows 2000 Server. The NTFS index attribute is used to index the folder and file contents so that file name, text, creation or modification date, author, and other properties can be quickly searched in Windows Server 2008. The index attribute marks a folder's contents or a specific file to be indexed through the Indexing Service. The Indexing Service creates a catalog of documents to be tracked and searched.

Windows Server 2008 offers a newer, faster search service called the Windows Search Service. This service is meant to replace using the index attribute and the Indexing Service, and it is recommended that you use this replacement-you can't use both the Windows Search Service and the Indexing Service at the same time. Windows Search Service is faster than the old Indexing Service.
