I have seen your post blog. codinghorror . com/getting-started-with-indexing-service/ and others like w w w . iislogs. com /articles/W2k8R2IndexService/

Mindly notes:

Any script in C# or Powershell for check if Index Service is installed and running - listening? or

Any script in C# or Powershell for check if Provider=MSIDXS is installed ?

Any script in C# or Powershell for List the OLEDB providers available in the system ?

How install Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Index Server?

Server-Search

Downloading and installing Windows Search Server does not install the OLE DB provider. Neither does installing the Windows SDK. The provider is installed when the

Windows Search Service is installed.

On Win7/8 desktop OS, this is installed be default (I believe). On server Windows Server 2012, you have to enable the feature.

Microsoft OLE DB Provider for Microsoft Indexing Service is MSIDXS . Windows Search Server is the same Microsoft Indexing Service?

Windows Server 2008 r2 using Indexing Server ?
Windows Server 2012 r2 using Microsoft Search ?

Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft

Search Server Express for server side search.
