FP2000: Navigation Bars Don't Show up on Search Results Page

ID: Q196477

The information in this article applies to:

Microsoft FrontPage 2000

SYMPTOMS

When you submit a search on a page containing the FrontPage Search component, the results are returned, but the navigation bars on the page are gone.

CAUSE

This behavior occurs when the server hosting your web is running Microsoft Index Server. When you save a page that contains a Search Form component, FrontPage creates an .idq file. Index server to uses this file to determine which folders and files to search. FrontPage also creates a template file to be used for the results. This file is stored in the _derived folder and is named <filename>.htm0.htx (where <filename> is the name of the file that contains the Search Form component). Because this template file is not in the navigation structure of the web, the navigation bars do not appear in the Web browser.

RESOLUTION

To work around this behavior, use one of the following methods:

Method 1: Use a Standard Form and a Custom .idq File

Use a standard form and create a custom .idq file to be used with Index Server. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:

Method 2: Use the FreeWAIS Search Engine

Use the FreeWAIS search engine included with the FrontPage Server Extensions. For additional information, please see the following article in the Microsoft Knowledge Base:
