Need help with FrontPage SiteSearch

[Sue Henderson]

I have a site that I created in Dreamweaver. I imported it into FrontPage
2002 so as to utilise the "Search Site" feature of Front page.

However, after uploading the site to my frontpage 2002 extension enabed
location, I run a search but the page reloads with some aditional text
saying "No documents found. Please try again" and further down "It may take
several minutes for recently saved documents to appear in the search".

In addition, the address in the address window changes from
"www.??????????.??.??/_vti_script/search.htm" to
http://www.??????????.???.??/_vti_script/search.htm0.idq

Can anyone point me in the right direction given the above info?

Thanks in advance for any assistance

Regards,

Sue

Sue,

Rather than fight with FP's somewhat quirky search function, why not give the
free trial of Atomz Search a try?

http://www.atomz.com/search/trial_account.htm

I've used it on several of sites for a couple of years now, and I have to say
it's one of the best freebies I've run across. No strings attached, other than
an occasional email from Atomz promoting their other products.

Sue,

I agree, fighting with FP's search function is tedious to say the
least. I, however, have found FusionBot to be an excellent
alternative, since they offer this feature as a hosted service that
you simply subscribe your site to, then paste a few lines of HTML code
into your page to display the search box, and you are up and running
in minutes.

Me, my clients, and their visitors love it!

I had the same problem. My web hosting site manager had to enable
something at his end and it now works perfectly. Here is what they
told me:
"This method of searching requires two steps on our end to complete
this function for you - a new dir must be created in the root of the
web and
at the server level indexing has to be enabled for the site this is
not a
default allowed action on behalf of the server /
I am waiting for a call back from a level II tech to complete this
operation for you, If I am unable to complete this under after hours
support, someone will handle this for you tomorrow morning.
I will let you know once the indexing service is ready on your
site.
Thank you."
I am not at all a tech guy so I have no idea of what that means. It is
up and working now.
Hope this helps.
