Indexing Service linked server

How can I setup a linked Indexing Service that is running on a remote machine (not on the same sqlserver machine).
We need to be able to link Indexing Service servers remotely from the sqlserver.
Thanks

you can't. Create a linked server to the local indexing service and then
query the catalog on the remote server like this
select * from openquery(LocalLinkedServer,'Select DocTitle, vpath, size,
create from RemoteServerName.RemoteCatalogName..Scope() where
contains(''test'')')
