With Win2K3 and IIS6, in addition to installing and configuring the
sites, and giving them their own application pool, you have to look in
that third folder under your IIS server (in the IIS Manager console).

Double click that folder and look at the list of extensions that are
allowed in the left hand pane. From your description, I would guess
that FPSE, FPSE2K2 are there and allowed, but that the Internet Service
is not. You have to install this as a component of IIS, and it is not
installed by default.

"By default, Windows 2003 Server does not install the indexing server.
You should actually see an option in the IIS console to "allow" or
"prohibit" the indexing service under the Web Service Extension
section.

The solution:
1) Go to "add/remove components" - "Windows Components" and uncheck
the indexing service so it can be uninstalled.
2) Reboot the system
3) Go back to "add/remove components" and reinstall the indexing
service.
4) In the IIS console, under "Web Service Extension", "allow" the
indexing service.
5) Recalculate the website

The search should function properly!"
