Search through search.asp, using IXSSO, does not find documents in virtual
folder, only documents in physical folders. The same search through MMC,
however, finds documents in both physical and virtual folders. Can IXSSO
search virtual roots (and how)?

yes it can. You will have to 1) specify you want your search restricted to
virtual roots, using scope('deep traversal of "/"') in ado, or using the
util object.
2) ensure that you are indexing virtual roots. Open up you IIS MMC, and
drill down on your web site, right click on it and all virtual directories,
select properties, home directory or virtual directory tab and ensure the
index this resource is checked.

Thanks Hilary!

Restricting the search to the virtual root works - using the scope(...
traversal of "/virtualroot").

Sincerely,
