Frontpage Search Component

[Mark Mesarch]

Hi,
I cannot seem to get my Search of my website to find the
right index file. I publish my website from a working
area, but understand I need to work directly on the
webpage on the server to see the correct help dialog
boxes. (I am using FrontPage as my web editor.)

The website is on the D:\ Drive of the server and it is
storing the index file(s) on the c:\ drive.

This server has several websites with different domains on
the computer. Each has its own indexing working. And the
indexing seems to be working

In Frontpage when I get to the Search Form Properties and
the Search Results table, I do not know what to
selectin "Scope of the Search Results" If I select
directory and browse, I cannot see anything but what is in
the directory of the website, thus not where the index is
placing the information.

If I select the Entire Web Site and save the webpage.
When I try a search I get an error that says the FrontPage
Runtime Error and something about the extensions are not
working which is what I can get if I do not publish the
page with server extensions in. The same happens when I
select "This Web"
What am I doing wrong? This use to work so well in older
versions of Frontpage.

I am running our web on a Windows 200 server wiht
Microsoft Server extension 2002 and IIS is version 5.0 I
am using Frontpage 2002 ( 10.26....)
THanks.

Do you have the search form set to use the Index Catalog and did you set up an Index Catalog for the web in IIS

Hi,
I am not sure how to answer your questions? Did you read
me initial question thoroughly?
First question: Is there something to do to directly set
the search form to use the Index catalog? As I said in
the original question I am going to the Scope of Search
Results and trying to figure out how to tell it what to
look for.
Second Question: How do you set the index Catalog for the
Web in IIS. In the properties of the particular web in
the Home Directory Tab I have checked the "Index this
resource" box. IS this it? As I also said there
indexing seems to be working.

I just cannot figure out how FrontPage knows where the
index catalogue is on the server? Especially if I cannot
tell it the exact location.
