website search

[bigben1269]

I have a website that I am redoing for a friend. I put his site on a unix
hosting package ( here is the package link
http://hosting.aplus.net/soloxr/general.html click tabs on left for more on
what included) He has page that is for seach results. When I right click on
the serch field for from properties it says send to other: Custom ISAPI,
NSAPI, CGI, or ASP Script. Then in the same window i click options and the
Action: searchresults.html MethodOST. Im not sure how to do this or how to
get it working with FP or the server its on. I cannot ad the search
component becasue pre-existing seach field is part of page separtor graphic.

Any Advise would be great. THanks!

On a UNIX server you set up the search via the web masters Control panel.

Look in the CGI center or a similarly worded section.

You need to look at the original site to determine what server-side scripting language was/is being
used to power the search, then you need to see if your new host support it, if not then you will
need to come up with a solution, or move the site to a host that support the current search.

Thanks for the response. I am unable to tell what script was used for this.
The control panel used is like none i have ever seen and his tech support
team wont give him any info which is BS. Anyways I looked through the
control panel and i did see an area called "rebuild search engine" inside
this is what was set...it had the URL (homepage), description weight = 1,
keyword weight = 1, Title weight = 2, body weight = 2, then submit request.
The website is knepslandscaping.com i put my name on it so im website
technologies so contacting them will do no good Here is the block of code
that i was able to look at <form style='display:inline' name=search311
method=post action='searchresults.html'><table cellspacing=0><tr><td><input
type=text size='15' name='searchString'> </td><td><input type=image
src="_images//go.jpg"></td></tr></table></form>

any help is GREATLY appreciated!

Basically, there is no way to see what is being use to process the search request, so you will need
to come up with either using the FP search, if hosted on a FP extensions enabled site, or use a 3rd
Party Search script that is supported by host.
