search form question

[Gerry Hooper]

We had a problem with our web server and had to re-install IIS and set up
all our webs again. Now, our search form does not work. It displays "no
documents found". Is there additional set-up to be done in order to get
this to work? I have re-configured server extensions.

Thanks.

In IIS create an index catalog for your web

Please forgive my ignorance but I cannot find where to create an index
catalog in IIS. Any further instructions would be appreciated.

Thanks.

You would use Index Server to create the catalog, and under IIS for the specific web, indicate that
it should be indexed. If you need additional help, consider posting to the Index Server newsgroup.
