A. If the content index is out of date, and you are executing queriesthat must be enumerated, you will get the above error message. To fix thisproblem wait until the index is up-to-date (it can be monitored through theComputer Management MMC snap-in in 2000) and perform the following steps:
Edit the .idq file for the query and add the line
CiForceUseCi=FALSEStart the registry editor (regedit.exe)
Move to HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINESYSTEMCurrentControlSetControlContentIndex
Double click MaxQueryExecutionTime and set to a higher value. Click OK
Double click MaxRestrictionNodes and set to a higher value. Click OK
Stop and start the Index Server service
