FrontPage Search Tool in FP2000

[emcc]

I'm trying to use the FP Search Tool and since I'm unfamiliar with this feature decided to just use the search form page that FP provides. I ftp'd this page to a web we currently have online to test it but I get a page not found error. I thought maybe I needed to create a "search results" page for the information to go to but I didn't see anything in the FP documentation about it. Could it be because the search page I ftp'd is not a part of the web we have online or am I really missing something here? Any suggestions?

It requires FP extensions to work. Once you FTP into a site, you run the risk of corrupting the extensions. Once this is done, you will need to re-install the extensions. If you can run ASP let me know. There is a quick & easy script that is more customizable than FP.

Sorry....this is my first website. How can I tell if I can run asp?

ASP is an active server page. Create a Web page, select FILE>SAVE AS. From the Save As file type, choose ASP. However, ASP pages will not work on all servers (they won't work on my host's servers). Check with your host's customer support for more information.

Thanks Linda.....I tested this and our host supports ASP pages.

Corey if you're out there....can you tell me more about the script you mentioned?

I use it on all my sites that want a search. Easy to use and no extra work when new pages are added or taken away.
