Scripting allows customization of the search engine's file name and contents matching algorithms through any valid Active Scripting script. It is possible to specify a script for either the file name matching rules or the containing text matching rules.

Set the Engine value to the appropriate Active Script engine Prog Id that will be used to run the script. Two script engines are listed in the drop down, JScript and VBScript, but any installed script engine can be specified.

Use the Parm field to pass additional parameters to the script.

The 'Test' button attempts to create the specified script engine, load the specified script into it, and make a test call to the script, e.g. isValidFileName( "c:\", "TestFile.txt" ).

For more information please visit the Scripting page.
