Author Allowing intranet searching IIS 6.0

We are using IIS 6.0 on our win2k3 webserver to host our company intranet.
It is the default website in IIS. I am wondering how we can use a search. I
read somewhere a while back that we will need to use the Frontpage server
extensions. When looking at the Web Service Extensions folder in IIS it
shows the Frontpage Server Extensions 2000 allowed. Does anyone have a link
or anything explaining how to get this working?

Thanks
James

You need to enable Indexing Services.

I think i have everything setup. I have teh 2002 server extensions
installed. I also removed the index service and than added it again. I did
notice that we have have the 2000 server extensions installed also. We
upgraded this box from NT4 to 2003. When i try to remove the 2000 extensions
from the add/remove programs it errors out and wont uninstall. I created the
cearch page with frontpage 2002 and when i run it i get the following error
message.


FrontPage Run-Time Component Page
You have submitted a form or followed a link to a page that requires a web
server and the FrontPage Server Extensions to function properly.

This form or other FrontPage component will work correctly if you publish
this web to a web server that has the FrontPage Server Extensions installed.

I have the 2003 extensions working. When i tell iis to check the 2002
extensions it takes me to the webpage and says everything is fine.

I use the following instructions to create a search box using frontpage
2002.
http://office.microsoft.com/en-us/a...1626971033.aspx

All i get when i search is an error saying "no documents found". I have set
the website to index in the website properties. Is there any way to see what
have been indexed in the site?


Thanks

It's not clear if you have setup indexing services.

I dont know if this will help....I am not using IIS 6.0 but running IIS 5.1
in XP and I had a similar issue when using the search function on a site.

I checked with MS and they advised to do the following.

Open IIS MMC
Right click on Default Site
Click on Home Directory tab
Click Configuration

look for entry .idq

If not there do this

Click Add
In Executable type c:\windows\system32\idq.dll
In Extension type .idq
In verbs click Limit To: then type GET,POST,HEAD
Click OK, the Apply then Apply again.

Restart IIS and try searching.

As i say dont know if this works with 6.0
