title: Replacement for Indexing service on Windows 2012 server
body: <p>Our company have 2 current website is hosted on a windows server 2003. The web sites are built in Classic ASP and use a MSIDXS provider to connect to a particular data source/indexing service catalogue (one for each website) and display the results of an SQL search based on a string parameter back onto the ASP page.</p>
  
  <p>We are in the process of moving these websites across to a Windows server 2012, which no longer support indexing service:

  <p>As such our IT department has installed Windows Search via the Roles within the server management on the 2012 server (we can only FTP to the server for security reasons) but we can't find any information about how we can connect our ASP page to the windows search service, define where it should search in order to produce search results.</p>
  
  <p>Has anybody else had this issue and resolved it?</p>
