Results Page

I have inserted a call to an asp page to do a site search

Here is the code that I can put on any page to do a search

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"><title>Search term or phrase</title></head><table border=0 cellpadding=5 bgcolor=#AAAAAA><form method="POST" action="search.asp"><tr><td>Search term or phrase &nbsp; <input type=text name=term size=15>&nbsp; <input type=submi
value="search"></td></tr></form></table><body></body></html

That works great and then I have the results page

<html><head><meta http-equiv="Content-Type" content="text/html; charset=windows-1252"><title>Search term or phrase</title></head><body><%
DIM Listoffilesfound,Thefile,Thefolder,Folderpat

if request.form="" the

SearchTerm = Server.HTMLencode(request.form("term")
SearchTermArray=Split(SearchTerm," "

DonotsearchthisFiles ="

Folderpath=server.mappath("\"

Listoffilesfound= Listoffilesfound & "<TR><TD>" & TheTitle & "</TD><TD ALIGN=CENTER VALIGN=MIDDLE><A HREF=" & Thefile & "> More </A></TD></TR>"

end i

End Sub %></body></html

the urls that they attach to are www.votekahn.com/searchtest.asp which has the search box an
www.votekahn.com/search.asp which displays the result

My question is, is there any way that I can customize the results page that pops up to display more information. Like a couple of sentences with the keyword in it, or the date last updated, so on and so forth

If you look at it know the search.asp page comes up with just page names, and nothing about the search word entered

Thanks for any help in advance

Where you have:
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set a = fs.OpenTextFile(Thefilepath)
you could insert teh 2nd line shown below:
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fileinfo = fso.GetFile(Thefilepath)
Set a = fs.OpenTextFile(Thefilepath)
Then fileinfo.DateLastModified would return the file's
last modified date.

Showing file segments including the search terms would be
more difficult. Where you have:

if instr(1,ThecontentofFile,SearchTermArray(j),1)>0 then
Findterms=Findterms+1
end if

You could change this to

begpos = instr(1,ThecontentofFile,SearchTermArray(j),1)
if begpos > 0 then
Findterms=Findterms+1
textfrag = mid(ThecontentofFile, _
pos - 20, _
len(SearchTermArray(j)) + 40)
end if

would give you the found term plus whatever occupies 20
bytes on either side. But it would be up to you to get
this into the results table.

BTW, take care not to display textfrag directly. Instead,
display server.htmlencode(textfrag). If you display
textfrag only, it may contain HTML tags that interfere
with the rest of the page.

I must tell you, this is a terrible way to do full text
searching. You should really investigate the Web Search
feature built into FrontPage, or Microsoft Indexing
Service.
