The ISYSAsp object is used to gain access to the ISYS engine when calling from a non-iis environment. It is the base object that is used when opening indexes to perform a search.

ISYSEngine Methods

GetIndexMetadata	Returns metadata summary information for the specified indexes. You can use this method to help construct a navigation control that allows users to find their way around the data without searching.
InitializeEngine	InitializeEngine is used when utilizing the COM objects in your own application. InitializeEngine must be called before any other method.
NewSearch	Creates a new search object that is used to perform advanced ISYS searching
OpenAgents	Opens the specified path and returns an Intelligent Agent Manager for that folder.
OpenCatalog	Returns an enumeration of the indexes in the ISYS:desktop catalog.
OpenConcept	Opens the specified concept tree file and returns the root element.
OpenIndex	Opens the given index ready for searching. If the index cannot be opened, an exception will be raised.
OpenIndexEx	Opens the given index ready for searching using the specified flag. If the index cannot be opened, an exception will be raised.
OpenResults	Loads a previously saved result list and returns an associated ISYSResultList object.

ISYSEngine Properties
