• Microsoft Windows NT Server version 4.0, Terminal Server Edition

SYMPTOMS

When you view the results of a search, you may notice that the abstract returned for the document contains client-side JavaScript or VBScript.

CAUSE

This is caused by a bug in the HTML filter that shipped with Index Server 2.0.

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, obtain the latest service pack for Windows NT 4.0 or Windows NT Server 4.0, Terminal Server Edition. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

STATUS

MORE INFORMATION

Service Pack 4 updates the HTML filter used by Index Server so that it no longer treats client-side scripting as part of the document abstract.
