Document Search not working

S

Scott McClure

A week or so back there was a thread about search
attempts in documents throwing an error (see below). The
response was to start the indexing service. Ours was not
running so I looked forward to resolution. No joy! The
service is running and the box has been rebooted but the
stuff below is all that is ever returned from a search
attempt.

Any ideas?

TIA,
Scott

I thought I remember reading somewhere that you had to have the Indexing
service installed before installing STS. Although, this is a guess from
memory, this could explain why you are still having problems with search
even though the Indexing service is running.

We also had to go through and associate the different file extensions with
the application. I am not the sysadmin, so I can't exactly say for sure how
to do this, but basically our sysadmin had to associate the htx and idq
extensions inside IIS.

I hope this helps.

I did find the following KB article that is probably what
John is referring to.

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;en-

I have just followed it through but so far no luck. I
may just need to give it some time now.

Thanks John. This looks promising.
