I am running IIS 6.0 on a Win2k3 Box
ASP pages and VBScript code
I am running Indexing Service and I have created a catalog called "ALL", this indexes certain folders for me.
I have sucessfully returned multiple word queries on my website using asp and vbscript code.
How can I implement a multiple word query that returns either or?
In a nutshell...
I can search for "hotdog" right now with fantastic results.
If I add another word say Hamburger so the query is "Hotdog Hamburger" it returns only pages with both.
How can I search for "Hotdog Hamburger" and have it return either OR both terms AND sorted properly by relevance? (strength being obviously both terms)

no, I do not know how to set it up for that....
thats the problem I am a bit clueless in terms of getting the sql right.
How do I break up potential multiple words? Do I gram the search term and do an Instr() for a space and then a left() or Mid()? then feed it to the SQL with OR? I don't get that part.
You should query the indexing service, not the SQL server.
See
http://support.microsoft.c
Or maybe I don't understand what you're trying to achive...
>>"You should query the indexing service, not the SQL server."
I understand that.. by SQL I meant the syntax, not a server...
I am querying the Index server.
But I need to know how to format it so it gives an either/or by relevance so if someone searches for "hamburgers hotdogs tofu" they will get results with ALL combinations of the three and not just one.
A search with all three words should cme back as the top return while one with just hotdogs will come back last.
I could easily enough seperate the key words by the spaces and then write the query as "hamburgers OR hotdogs OR tofu" but that will only give me results on one and not relevance on three, two and then one.
In the example given in your link, it is a straight forward sql based query:
strQuery = "Select DocTitle,Filename,Size,PAT
so how do I make it so I can sort relevance on multiple keywords?

Have you tried the keywords AND, OR, NOT, NEAR?
Samples:
Hotdog OR Hamburger (without the quotes!)
Hotdog {near dist = 200, unit = word} Hamburger
