Frontpage Problems

When FrontPage Search Component is Used Instead of Search Form, page has [FrontPage Search Component]

Windows 2003 with IIS 6 With FrontPage 2003

Subjects > ... > Computers > Internet > Web > Tech Tips

searched and searched for a solution. Having gleaned bits and pieces from various sources, here's what I discovered and how I fixed it:

I realized that the indexing service wasn't listed in IIS under Web Service Extensions. And despite the fact that the service was running and I'd configured catalogs, I found that when I went to Add/Remove?Create Programs » Windows Components, Indexing Service wasn't checked. So I checked it, it installed (again?), I reset IIS, found the service was now appropriately listed in the Web Service Extensions, I "allowed" it, recalculated the web, and viola!

Your mileage may vary, but I hope this information proves helpful. Please post your results so that others may benefit. Cheers! .

   yourdomain/_vti_script/search.html0.idq  gets a "Page Cannot Be Found"

Go to Web Service Extensions, and enable "Indexing Service"

The next problem you'll see is "No Documents Found. Please Try Again."

Go into Computer Management, Add a new Catalog for each virtual website.

After adding the catalog for a virtual website, then add it's root directory

After adding the root directory, stop and then start index server.
