Add search page or search box

[Pepe]

I simply added a search page using search page template in my Frontpage 2003
to my web site.
But when I try to test the search page on line typing an word in seach box,
it said that the page I am looking for cannot find. What ever the word I
type, the result is the same. My website is already published.
My computer is WindowXP Home edition and I am using Front page extension.
Is there more complex to it? Am I not doing an right action?
If anybody can help me, I will be so gratefull.
Thank you in advance.

_derived/nortbots.htm is telling you that you need to "publish" the site to
a server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions. Did you publish you your
site using File, Publish Site, http://http://www.theartoftaichi.co.uk/ or
did you FTP the site to the server? You need to use HTTP publish

Hi! David,
Thank you very much for trying to help me.
I did not publish it by FTP. I published it to my server which has
installed the Frontpage server extension. My site is
http://www.theartoftaichi.co.uk.
I do not know why it does not work. According to help section in Front
page, it seems easy to add a seach page.

Try re-creating the search page, save it and then publish it again. If
there's still a problem contact your host and ask them, to repair or
reinstall the FrontPage Extensions

Hi! David
Thank you very much for your message.
I am very much appreciated.
I will try again.

Hi! David ,
I am sorry to be nuisance but I still have the same problem.
I asked my server to reinstall the FP server extension and they said they
have done it. And I recreate the search page and search box and save it and
published through FP Extension.
Can I ask you to give me one more suggestion if you have time?
Thank you very much.
Kind regards,
*Is it anything to do with IIS? Because my computer is window XP home. I t
is not installed IIS.

If the live/remote site is hosted on Windows IIS, then the web host need to have Index Server
installed and running, and must create a Index Catalog fro your site.

To add to what Tom said XP Home doesn't come with IIS so you won't be able
to test this until you publish your site to your web host's server.

Thank you very much Tom and David.
I will keep trying.
Kind regards,
