I publish two websites, one hosted at http://www.fasthosts.co.uk/, the other
at http://order.1and1.co.uk. Both have the 'Latest FrontPage' extensions.
In the old days, under Windows 98 etc, when FrontPage extensions were in
their infancy, the Search Component in FrontPage worked very nicely - one of
my sites archives 200 pages so being able to search the site is vital if the
visitor is going to have a pleasant or useful visit.
I'm not sure quite when, but as FrontPage developed the search component
STOPPED working.
I now use FrontPage 2003 and, although both hosts above provide the 'latest'
FrontPage extensions, the search component, when published, won't work.
It DOES, however, work properly when I publish locally to
C:\Inetpub\wwwroot\sun
To confirm, it's the Web Search/Current Web component I'm discussing.
I've spoken to 3 hosts and get mixed reasons for the problem... 'Microsoft
knows it doesn't work... it tries to index every file on the server
including other companies' websites... you need a dedicated server... you
need SharePoint services...'
I'm confused and would like the quickest and easiest solution to this
problem... we NEED a working search facility, so:
1. Does the Search Component work in FP2003 at all?
2. Is my solution to find a host with these new SharePoint services?
3. A friend mentioned I could buy a 'JavaScript plug-in' that will give some
search ability. Any leads on these?
4. Any other ways to add a search? We can't afford a dedicated server.
Any help anyone can give is very much appreciated.
Thank You - Ralph
