2.2.3 Index Keys

  • Article

An index key references a content index record or a scope index record.

The index key consists of

  • The index key string: A sequence of bytes with different meaning for each type of index key.

  • The property identifier: An identifier of a property that is referenced by index key.

When ordering for index keys is required, index keys MUST be ordered using default sorting order, unless otherwise noted, as follows:

  1. The index key string ascending.

  2. The property identifier as a DWORD (see [MS-DTYP]) ascending.
