It's possible the page isn't picking up the server's configuration.

Have you tried opening the Windows Server 2003 site and then either?

o Choosing Recaluclate Hyperliks form the Tools menu?
o Openng the page that contains the search form, making and reversing
    a minor change, and then saving?
