Author Search component not working

2004-12-06, 7:46 am

I have setup server 2003 standard and extended the web site. (Installed
the FrontPAge and Sharepoint Extensions. The Problem is that Search
components and TOC components do not Function. After making sure that the
page is saved so it should preview correctly all i get in the Browser when
viewing the page is [FrontPAge Search Component] or [FrontPage TOC
Component. I have checked to make sure that Frontpage Extension sare
installed, I have Checked the server health and Nothing returns an Error.
When I view the frontpage problems log, it tells me that the search.htm (or
whatever I have named the page contains an unknown "Search" component.

Any Suggestions would be greatly appreciated.

Thanks

Have you set up a catalog for the site in Index Server? Win 2003 will not
use the standard FP WAIS.

Yes. I have setup the catalog and it works great. Just can't get the search
function to work in the web.

Have you configured your site to use FPSE?

Hi
-----------------------------------
Integration of FPSE with the Indexing service
FPSE is tightly integrated with Indexing Service. The functionalities that
indexing service provides is much better that the built-in search engine,
WAIS.
Configuration of Indexing service on an FPSE based web site
1. Install Indexing service through Add/Remove Windows Components.
2. Create a catalog and point this catalog to the FPSE enabled web site.
3. Follow this KB article to Configure indexing service on the FPSE site.
4. HOW TO: Create and Configure a Catalog for indexing.
http://support.microsoft.com/defaul...kb;EN-US;308202
5. Test the catalog using 'Query the catalog' option.
Troubleshooting guidelines and the flow chart
1. Check if Index this site is enabled in the web site properties
2. Ensure that Indexing service is installed. If it is a windows 2003
server, also ensure that Indexing service is allowed in the Web server
extensions in the IIS manager.
3. Ensure that a catalog is created and it is mapped to the appropriate web
site.
4. Open the site in FrontPage and insert a page with a search form in it.
Right click on the Search form and go to properties, and it should contain
some additional properties which are related to index server.
5. Ensure that 'noindexserver' is set to 0 in the registry. If it is 1, it
means that FPSE will not use indexing service, even it is present.
6. Ensure that .IDQ and .IDA file extensions are mapped to IDQ.DLL in the
Application configuration of the Web server properties as well as the
properties of the web site.

------------------------------------------------------------
If the above steps couldn't solve the problem, then create a new site on
the web server and insert a search page in that and ensure that search is
working after configuring the indexing service. If this is working, then
publish the old site to this one and test.


Hope this helps
