Hi,

I have created a search engine in FP - but it is finding every page of my
site on the server.

If I wish to hide pages etc where do I put them or how can I hide them?

Thanks
 
If your site is using the FrontPage (WAIS) search engine, put all the pages
you don't want it to find in a different subsite.

If it's using Microsoft Indexing Services, put the pages you don't want to a
search to find in a different folder tree.

If you mean "a folder converted to a subsite", no, it can be a normal folder.

Right-click your search form, choose Search Form Properties, and click the
Search Results tab. Then, under Scope Of Search Results, select Directory and
specify the folder tree you want to search.

However, this option *won't* appear if the site is using the FrontPage
"WAIS" search engine.

Note that his option appears only if the site is running on an IIS Web
server that has Microsoft Indexing Service installed.

On Unix, or in the absence of Microsoft Indexing Service, the FrontPage
search form uses its own "WAIS" search engine, which searches the entre site
that contains the form but no subsites.
