Hello everyone,

I just purchased Front Page 2003 because I thought the search component
would work with my Window's Platform server. I had Front Page 2000 for a few
years and had a Unix server and all the components (such as the Comments Form
and the Search worked fine). Now, I have a new server and, when I publish the
my search page and my comments form they don't work. I thought there was a
way to configure the script to work with my Window's Platform server, but I
don't have a clue how to do it.

If anyone has an idea about this, I'd be very pleased. I'm very frustrated!

Thank you!
 
You need the Frontpage server extensions installed on the server - ask your
host.
 
More importantly on a Windows Server (especially W2003) the host need to set up an Index catalog and the Search webbot needs to be
set to use the Index catalog
(WAIS, used on Unix, may be not supported on the OP's server)
