Hi,

I have 2 Windows 2003 Servers that I'm using to build a web farm.  I am
using the local Indexing Service on each box to search the content for that
box.  The content folders are 100% identical.  When I test the search with
the same search phrase I get slightly different results on each server.

Is there a way to ensure that my search results are the same on each server?

Thanks,
-Rob.

Are the Index Server directory listings the same?  Is there the same number
of files in explorer?
Are the catalog statistics identical?

Thank You
