Author force a document scan

hello all
I am using index server to search for text in a directory with word
documents in it. The documents are modified, deleted or new documents
are inserted from time to time. The directory is placed on a server
that is never turned off, so the index server service is always
running. From what i have read about the index server : "An
incremental scan is conducted on all indexed directories at every
startup of the Index Server", and since my index server is always on,
no scanning will be done. My question is - is there a way to "force"
the index server to do a scan with every new document that is inserted
into the indexed directory, or is there a way to "force" a scan
through VB code with every modification of a document. I must add that
all changes in the indexed directory are not made manualy but through
a VB code.
sorry for my english, hope you understand my questions, and thanx in
advance.

This should not matter. The IS picks up changes to documents even when that
document has been modified with VB. Can you show us some code that is
modifying a document that IS does not pick up?
