Indexing Service Query Language

[irate]

I have an index for my web site that I am querying from an ASP script.

It basically takes a user inputted string and searchs for it in the index.

It does this by simply adding

'$CONTENTS '

to what ever the user inputs, however if they input nothing I want to return all the index.

I am a very new to indexing on iis so coul someone tell me what query to use to return all the index please.

Here is the code in case it helps:

<%
  function strRemPunc(str)
   dim chrNum
   for chrNum = 33 to 47
    str = replace(str,chr(chrNum),&quot; &quot;) 'removes !&quot;~$%&'()*+,-./
   next
   for chrNum = 58 to 64
    str = replace(str,chr(chrNum),&quot; &quot;) 'removes :;<=>?@
   next
   for chrNum = 91 to 96
    str = replace(str,chr(chrNum),&quot; &quot;) 'removes [\]^_`
   next
   for chrNum = 123 to 126
    str = replace(str,chr(chrNum),&quot; &quot;) 'removes {|}~
   next
   strRemPunc = str
  end function
  
  rSearchString = strRemPunc(request.form(&quot;SearchString&quot;))
  
  set Q = Server.CreateObject(&quot;ixsso.Query&quot;)
  set util = Server.CreateObject(&quot;ixsso.Util&quot;)

  Q.Query = &quot;$CONTENTS &quot;&rSearchString
  Q.Catalog = &quot;Web&quot;
  Q.SortBy = &quot;rank[d]&quot;
  Q.Columns = &quot;DocTitle, vpath, filename, size, write, characterization, rank&quot;
  Q.MaxRecords = 500
  util.AddScopeToQuery Q, &quot;\&quot;, &quot;deep&quot;
  Q.LocaleID = util.ISOToLocaleID(&quot;EN-US&quot;)

  set RS = Q.CreateRecordSet(&quot;nonsequential&quot;)

  RS.PageSize = PageSize
%>

(If a user searchs for nothing with this code it says:CreateRecordset error '80041605'
The query contained only ignored words.)

Thanks in advance.
