How to Query Custom Document Properties in Index Server (158726)
The information in this article applies to:
- Microsoft Index Server 1.0
This article was previously published under Q158726 SUMMARY
To query custom document properties, you should add the following GUID
to the [NAMES] section of the IDQ query file.
MORE INFORMATION
The proper GUID to use for Custom properties of Microsoft Office documents
is:
-0xD5CDD505,0x2E9C,0x101B,0x9397,0x08002B2CF9AE
The online documentation for Microsoft Index Server Query Language
incorrectly documents the GUID as the following:
-0xF29F85E0,0x4FF9,0X1068,0XAB9108002B27B3D9
This GUID would work for built-in document properties of Microsoft Office
documents.
[Names]
#Property set for built in document properties.
DocCategory ( DBTYPE_STR ) = D5CDD502-2E9C-101B-9397-08002B2CF9AE 0x2
DocManager ( DBTYPE_STR ) = D5CDD502-2E9C-101B-9397-08002B2CF9AE 0xE
DocCompany ( DBTYPE_STR ) = D5CDD502-2E9C-101B-9397-08002B2CF9AE 0xF
Related example sections for the "GOOT" custom property is as follows:
[Names]
#Property set for OLE Custom document properties
GOOT (DBTYPE_WSTR)= D5CDD505-2E9C-101B-9397-08002B2CF9AE 6
[Query]
CiColumns=vpath, GOOT
In the names section of the idq file, put the "Name" of your custom
property, this is same as "Name" field in custom property dialog box. All
custom properties use the same GUID. Include your custom property in the
CiColumns field so you can reference it in the htx file, if necessary.
The Microsoft Office Summary Information properties are stored in a
separate stream from the standard Summary Information properties. The
standard Summary Information property set is described in the section
entitled "The Summary Information Property Set" under "Using Property
Sets." The name of the stream that contains the Document Summary
Information is the following:
