Search Errors

[Tennille]

I am in the process of creating a Search Form using
FrontPage 98. After publishing my site and trying to
perform the search, the results of my search is
always "Service is not running". Does this have
something to do with the Webbot feature? If not, what
service is this refering to?

The only thing I can think of at the moment, and feel
free to correct me if I'm wrong, is that the server you
are publishing to isn't running the Frontpage Server
Extensions. Normally you have to get your hosting
provider to install them on his/her server. Most do run
them, but your provider could be an exception.

That message means the Index Server service is not running ... the ISP (if
running a Windows box) needs to enable it and allow a catalog to be created
for the web site.
