Indexing a New Site

When you create a new Web site, it isn't automatically marked as indexed when you create a catalog for it. To correctly index a new Web site, follow these steps:

1. Open the Indexing Service console, and create a new catalog.
2. Right-click the new catalog and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
3. Click the Tracking tab and select the Web site that you want to index. Click OK.
4. Open the Internet Information Services console. Right-click the appropriate Web site and choose Properties from the shortcut menu.
5. Click the Home Directory tab (Figure 27-13), select the Index This Resource check box, and click OK.
6. Stop the Indexing Service and then restart it. The new catalog should come online and begin indexing the new Web site.
