Index Server vs. WAIS

[Curt Anderson]

We are running Index Server on our Win2K server and have succesfully set up a
catalogue for several of our webs as evidenced by a succesful query of the
catalogue using the MMC. In addition, the "Index this resource" is checked
in the properties of these webs.

However, when we insert a Search Component in FrontPage, we get the dialogue
box for the WAIS search service rather than the Index Server service. How do
I "tell" FP that I want to use the Index Server catalogue rather than the
WAIS catalogue?

I'm using both FP2K and FP2002 and we have the FPSE2002 installed.

I found a knowledge base article that addresses disabling Index Server
through a registry entry, but I need to do the opposite it seems.

Thanks - Curt

Are you sure the NoIndexServer registry entry is absent?

Are you editing the FronmtPage Search form ON the server running Indexing
Service, and not on a remote workstation?

Have you tried Recalculate Hyperlinks?

You may get some more information by running the ASP.NET
