1.3.1 Remote Administration Tasks
The Content Indexing Services Protocol enables the following indexing service catalog management tasks from a client:
Query the current state of an indexing service catalog on the server.
Update the state of an indexing service catalog.
Launch the indexing process for a particular set of files.
Initiate optimization of an index to improve query performance.
All remote administration tasks follow a simple request/response model. No state is maintained on the client for any administration call, and administrative calls can be made in any order.
