[Names]
[Query]
CiCodePage=windows-1252
CiLocale=En-US CiCatalog=OWS_Search_Proxy
CiColumns=filename,size,rank,characterization,vpath,DocTitle,write
CiFlags=DEEP
CiRestriction= $contents "%SearchString%" AND NOT #vpath \iisadmin* AND NOT #vpath \iishelp* AND NOT #vpath \iissamples* AND NOT #vpath *\_vti_*
CiMaxRecordsInResultSet=300
CiMaxRecordsPerPage=20
CiScope=/OWS_VRoot_19/%DocLibDir%
CiTemplate=/_layouts/%Template%.htx
CiSort=rank[d]
CiForceUseCi=true
CiDialect=1

CAUSE

This issue may occur if the Internet Data Query (.idq) file type is not mapped correctly to the interpreter that processes that file.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this issue, add or correct the missing or faulty entry. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. Start Computer Management, and then expand the Internet Information Services branch.
  2. Right-click the Microsoft SharePoint Administration Web site, or another Web page that is experiencing the issue, and then click Properties.
  3. Click the Home Directory tab.
  4. Under Applications Settings, click Configuration, and then click the Application Mapping tab.
  5. Verify the existence of the following entry:

--------------------------------------------------------- 
.idq          C:\WINNT\System32\idq.dll     GET,HEAD,POST
    If the entry does not exist, click Add.

    If the entry does exist but it contains different values, click Edit.
  6. In the Executable box, type drive:\Winnt\System32\idq.dll, where drive refers to the letter of the drive where the Winnt folder is located.
  7. In the Extension box, type .idq.
