Search Box

[Guest]

Hi. I have inserted a search box, as a FP web componenent into my site
www.reccomended.co.uk but it won't find any words in the site content. is it
really as simple as inserting the search box and expecting it to find the
relevant entries? HELP.
PHIL.

NORTBOTS:
nortbots.htm only appears in four cases:
1) You are testing on a disc-based website, including a FrontPage
disc-based web that is being browsed through a web-server.
2) You are testing on a website that does not have server extensions
installed or running
3) The site (or form page) was FTPed from a disc-based web, or
published using a FTP address for the destination. Publish must be to a URL
of the form http://www.example.com. The host must then run a health check
or reinstall the FP server extensions.
4) There is a bug associated with FrontPage98 which causes this
problem.

The search form on the home page goes to _derived/norbots.htm when
submitted.

nortbots.htm only appears in five cases:

1) You are testing on a disc-based website, including a FrontPage or
Expression Web disc-based web that is being browsed through a
web-server.

2) You are testing on a website that does not have server extensions
installed or running.

3) The site (or form page) was FTPed from a disc-based web, or
published using a FTP address for the destination, or published to a
file system destination including a network share or UNC address (like
\\machinename\path\webname), or to an address like C:\sitename .
Publish must be to a URL of the form http://example.com

4) The site was correctly published, but the extensions were not
installed correctly or were mis-configured. Re-installing the
extensions may correct the problem. Some forms (example Search) may not
be supported by the server and may also show the error.

5) There is a bug associated with FrontPage98 which causes this
problem.


Suggest you open http://www.reccomended.co.uk in FrontPage and run
Tools->Recalculate Hyperlinks
This may correct this error.

As Stefan indicated last Saturday, you may also need to ask the host to
create an Index Service catalogue for your site.

I don't think it's "as simple as inserting the search box and expecting it to
find the relevant entries"...I believe your host has to allow/turn on
indexing service on the server.
