Directing the FrontPage Search Engine

C

Crlovel

Hello,

My setup is a little complicated, so I will explain it as best I can. I am
using FP 2003 SP2. I have a web server with FP Extensions running my
company's Intranet, with two separate websites on it. Within each of these
websites are about 30 subsites. Each subsite houses a manual with anywhere
from five to 40 sections, each it's own separate htm file. A Table of
Contents, with a search engine, is the homepage for each of these manuals.
One of the main sites I use for working-on, editing, and creating manuals,
and the other is used by the employees to view the finalized manuals after I
publish them to it.

For some reason, about half of the manuals search engines work exactly as
intended, and the search is contained within the subsite itself.

For the other half, the search engines go outside of the subsite. The
results will display both pages that are in the correct subsite (the path
reads http://...), and pages that are outside of the subsite and are not
accesssiblee (the path reads file:///c:/inetpub...). In addition, the results
(the ones that are not accessible) will turn up not only pages in the
subsites in the employee's website, but also pages in the subsites on MY
website, which is in a different directory (same machine, though).

This problem exists on subsites that are on both of the main websites.

I can find no differences between the search engines that work, and the ones
that don't. I've uninstalled and re-installed them, re-published entire
subsites, etc, with no results. I can also find no differences in the
subsites themselves. My tech support department is not being very helpful in
the matter.

Anyone else have any suggestions?

Thank you much,

Chris
