Error Messages

Index Server errors fall into several classes: query syntax errors, .idq syntax errors, .htx syntax errors, out-of-resource errors, and other system errors. They are also reported through mechanisms: HTML pages and the Windows NT event log. The only errors a user is likely to see are query syntax errors, and even these can be minimized through use of HTML forms.
