    There is nothing that you need to do once you have set up the search form and then published it to
    the server via FP's http mode. The only thing that you can try is to actually create the search form
    directly on the remote server from within FP and see it then works.

    If doesn't work and your host is not will to trouble-shoot the issue is to move to another web host.
