Sam.

To clear up the edit of .php files, if the file only contains standard HTML tags, then FP has no
problem editing the file, however if the .php contain script tags using <? ?> then FP will have
problem parse those tags unless the tags are change to <% %>.

As far as the Search component, as you see the KB indicated that the search component will work on a
.asp if on a Windows IIS server with Index Server installed and running and managing the search for
the specific web site. It however will not work on a non .htm(l) page when the WAIS search engine is
being used. The WAIS search engine is use by the FP extensions on all Unix/Linux servers and Windows
IIS server where Index Server is not installed or running, but this depends on the Web Host.

As far as helping you with your search problem, rename your search page .htm or .html or create a
new page with .htm or .htm(l) and see if the search component works directly on the server via FP.
If this works, then you have a solution.
