Help: FPSE search with index server

[addytude]

Hi,
I Saw your reference on this site, thought u would be the ideal person to
ask for help

We have an environment in which the websites are hosted on IIS6 on server A.
The content of the website is on server B, accessed over UNC path:-
serverB\\sharefolder\websiteContentfolder1

We want to use a FPSE webcomponents search form in our page hosted on this
site, to search through the contents of

serverB\\sharefolder\websiteContentfolder1.
For this i searched on internet & found that we need to use Index service
(WAIS is outdated)
I created a catalog, it asks for a local folder, which i provide on server
A. Then i created a new directory for this

catalog & pointed it to serverB\\sharefolder\websiteContentfolder1.
Inside the serverB\\sharefolder\websiteContentfolder1 path, the file
'search.htm0.idq' is created in a _vti_script folder.


The Problem is that when i try run the search, an error is thrown:
"The file search.htm0.idq is on a network share. IDQ, IDA and HTX files
cannot be placed on a network share"

Is it possible to use the search functionality, when the contetnts are on
another server?
Also, is it possible to create a single catalog, for multiple sites?

Please reply soon at : (e-mail address removed)

FP can not work in this manner, the web content must be all in the same web (folder) where the FP
extensions have been applied to port 80.
