Having the same problem as many others here with the fp search function.

2003 server
IIS6
Indexing service re installed.  Catalogs are searchable in the computer mana
gement mmc
Indexing service set to Allow
Everything has been stopped and restarted.
Mappings are good.  They go to system32 folder.

The form comes up fine.  You enter a search string and it goes to a 404 eror
 page.
I looked inside the \_vti_script folders of where the search is at and they 
are blank.

Thanks for any help!

What is blank?

Did you fill out the properties of the search form?  Dirty the page and
republish.  FP should create the .idq file.

I did fill in all of the properties of the form.
Also changed some text on the page and republished it.  
The \_vti_script folder still does not have any files in it.
On the page in question, as soon as you hit the search button, it goes to a 
404 not found because of the \_vti_script folder is epmty.
When do files get populated to that folder?  During the publish?  Is that wh
en they are created?
Just trying to figure out if it is a permission isssue or what.

Thanks

My experience is that they get created when you publish.

In the catalog that you expect to be indexing the site containing this
form, do you have a directory entry for the sub-web containing the
form?
