Search page not working in FP2003?

[Harvey]

I have IIS6 and FP server extension 2002 installed in our win server 2003.
The web server looks working (I can create subsite, set permission, etc.)
except the Search page created in FP2003. Within FP2003, if I use the
new-page-wizard to create a Search Page, the Design and Preview shows
normally:

Search for: [the seach-box]

[buttons "Start Search" "Reset"]

I accept all default setting/options for this search page. However, when I
browse this page, I got:

[FrontPage Search Component]

along with other default text, but no searh-box, no buttons.

What's wrong? When I have IIS5 and FP server extension 2000 on server 2000,
I did not do anything about this "search feature", and it never shows such a
problem. Should I do something on IIS6, FP 2003 or FP 2002 extension?

Thanks for any help!

Hi Harvey,

Integration of FPSE with the Indexing service
FPSE is tightly integrated with Indexing Service.
Configuration of Indexing service on an FPSE based web site
1. Install Indexing service through Add/Remove Windows Components.
2. Create a catalog and point this catalog to the FPSE enabled web site.
3. Follow this KB article to Configure indexing service on the FPSE site.
4. HOW TO: Create and Configure a Catalog for indexing.
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;308202
5. Test the catalog using 'Query the catalog' option.

Troubleshooting guidelines.
1. Check if Index this site is enabled in the web site properties
2. Ensure that Indexing service is installed. If it is a windows 2003
server, also ensure that Indexing service is allowed in the Web server
extensions in the IIS manager.
3. Ensure that a catalog is created and it is mapped to the appropriate web
site.
4. Open the site in FrontPage and insert a page with a search form in it.
Right click on the Search form and go to properties, and it should contain
some additional properties which are related to index server.
5. In the code view, search for b-useindexserver. If the value is 0, then
it is not using the Indexing service and if it is 1, then it is using the
indexing service.
6. Ensure that 'noindexserver' is set to 0 in the registry. If it is 1, it
means that FPSE will not use indexing service, even it is present.
7. Ensure that .IDQ and .IDA file extensions are mapped to IDQ.DLL in the
Application configuration of the Web server properties as well as the
properties of the web site.

Hope this helps

Hi Hari,

Thanks a lot for your help. I did all mentioned in your message and the
article, but the problem is still there. I did:

1. index service has been enabled and started before.
2. I created a catalog that ponits to my web site and I tested "Query the
Catalog" that does work: showing all web pages that have the searching text
3. In IIS manager, my web site's property shows "Index this resource" is
checked, and in web service extensions "indexgin service" is allowed. Did I
miss something?
4. In fp2003, I created a new page, insert Search form. But, I could not
find its property related to index server
5. In the code view, I could not find b-useindexserver. What I see is only:

<!--webbot bot="Search" S-Index="All" S-Fields="TimeStamp,DocumentK,Weight"
S-Text="Search for:" I-Size="20" S-Submit="Start Search" S-Clear="Reset"
S-TimestampFormat="%m/%d/%Y" TAG="BODY" -->

Please check my test web site: http://rust.wustl.edu/s2.htm

6. In the registory, I don't see any entry of noindexserver or indexserver
7. Where to check .IDQ, .IDA file extension?

Could you help me more? Thanks!
