You need to try posting in the index server newsgroup to get better answers.

AT least to get into the page with the way I | expected to see to select options. | | I chose "the entire website" as my option. As you said | below that it does not matter where the index is storing | the info as long as it is on the server. It is on the | server in a different drive. Does that matter? | What if we have numerous websites being housed on that | server and each has its own indexing being done. I would | think that if you said the search page can find the index | for a particular website...it would be able to find the | correct one for each website. IS that right? | Thanks again, | Mark | >-----Original Message----- | >>-----Original Message----- | >>I can not seem to get the Search Web Component to work | on | >>my website.
