FrontPage puts the results in a text file in the _private
folder. The engines are searching that file. You might
want to switch to having the results sent in e-mails or to
a database. I'm not sure whether they can search an
Access database.
You also want to add a robots.txt file in your root folder
to direct search engines to stay out. The syntax is like
this:
User-agent: *
Disallow: /fpdb/
Disallow: /images/
Disallow: /_private/
Paste this into Notepad, save as robots.txt, import and
publish. You can add any folders you want.
Robots.txt is no guarantee, however. Some engines ignore
it.
As far as the stuff on the web now, the genie is out of
the bottle. All you can do is clean up your site and the
search results will go away eventually.
