I must have been very lucky then, since I did not know any of this. My site
was previously hosted by a IIS/Windows server and I used an asp extension
for most all pages. I even had asp code in them to make it easier for me to
update links to the MSDN in case Microsoft decided to reorganize MSDN again.
Yet the FrontPage search worked just fine then. I did have to add asp to the
list of extensions that FrontPage uses to determine what to use for each
extension. So I did not know that it is not supposed to work and I got it to
work for me. Perhaps I can teach Microsoft a couple of things. I definitely
was able to edit the HTML in the asp pages just fine; the asp of course was
ignored by FrontPage.

I was also able to edit the HTML in a file with a php extension. I had a hit
counter in my "home" page that was coded in php. I edited the HTML using
FrontPage and I edited the php code using the "HTML" tag. I have since
removed the hit counter but about 99% of my pages have a php extension yet I
edit them using FrontPage as easily as if the extension is html.
