SUMMARY
=======

To obtain debug output from Index Server, follow these steps:

1. Install the "checked" (chk) build of Index Server.

  The chk build has the cidbg flag set.

2. Use a debugger to attach to Cisvc.exe.

3. In the debugger, set the values of vqinfolevel and ciinfolevel to generate
  the appropriate output. For example:

   - ed query!vqinfolevel ffffffff

   - ed query!ciinfolevel ffffffff

If you set the values to ffffffff, you will receive all available debug output.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To reduce the amount of debug output, use the following values for vqinfolevel
or ciinfolevel:

- DEB_ERROR 0x00000001 // exported error paths

- DEB_WARN 0x00000002 // exported warnings

- DEB_TRACE 0x00000004 // exported trace messages

- DEB_IERROR 0x00000100 // internal error paths

- DEB_IWARN 0x00000200 // internal warnings

- DEB_ITRACE 0x00000400 // internal trace messages
