Search problem

B

Bob L

I'm developing and maintaining a website using FP 2003 and cannot get the
search function to work. According to an earlier post on this NG, the
problem I'm having indicates that I'm using FTP to publish instead of
publishing to http (FrontPage or SharePoint Services). I'm using http but I
may have originally published using FTP when I first put up the site on the
current hosting service (godaddy.com). The search function worked fine with
my prior ISP.

I've tried reinstalling Front Page Extensions several times and the fact
that I can publish using http seems to indicate that FP 2003 recognizes that
FP Extensions are correctly installed. I've also logged on to the website
directly and recalcaculated the links to rebuild the data base. But, no
joy.

The search page is here: http://www.project2105.org/search_website.htm

Hi Bob,
For what it's worth GoDaddy is one of the worst hosts for people who lean on
FrontPage extensions heavily. I know this because I've published into
dozens of people's GoDaddy hosted sites.

Can you provide a link to your search page?

Since you've published by http:// and done all the steps that would be
commonly suggested to you, I'm thinking it's a hosting issue.
Have you contacted GoDaddy about this?

Chris

extensions are messed up (that's a technical term).
it's probably deeper than you can get to from the GoDaddy control panel.
if I recall correctly it's just an "apply/ remove" arrangement.
does it still look like this:
