This article was previously published under Q187501

SUMMARY

With Microsoft Index Server 2.0, you can add two types of directory entries to the catalog. Virtual roots are added when you tell the catalog to index a specific Web site, and physical paths are added by creating a new directory entry under the index.

MORE INFORMATION

Virtual roots are normally what you add to a catalog to index Web content. They are added by selecting the Index This Directory entry in the properties of a folder or virtual folder in the Internet Information Server snap-in.

Physical paths are added by right-clicking the directory folder under the catalog in the Index Server snap-in and choosing New. Physical paths do not return valid URLs based on query results, instead they return only physical directory paths.
