We are running IIS option pack 4 using FrontPage server extensions. I inserted a search form on the default web page. Only the domain Admin group (who have full access to everything) and the administrators group (who can administer, author and browse the web server) can use the search feature.

The folks who have browse only access get the following error when they try to use the search feature:

FrontPage Error.
User: please report details to this site's webmaster.
Webmaster: please see the server's application event log for more details

We took one of the regular users and added her to the web server admin group, but that did not resolve the issue. However, when we added her to the Domain admin group she could use the search feature successfully. Unfortunately, we cannot give everyone Domain admin access.

I would appreciate any help toward resolving this issue.
 
In case anyone runs across a similar problem I thought I would let you know that we finally got this issue resolved. As we suspected, it was a permissions issue, AND the issue was on the ROOT WEB, which we had not suspected. The search form worked for all users once we had all permissions correct on the Root Web.
