Re: Search in IIS 6 what"s best

Hi,

Without knowing what "does not seem to work" actually mean, there is very
little we can do to help you fix the problem. All we actually know is that
you have some kind of problem to use the indexing service to search your
website.

The Indexing Service is available on Windows Server 2003 and is supported,
so it should work. I do however not know what changes has been done in
this service compared to Windows 2000. The index server has its own
newsgroup, and you may want to try there how to solve the problem you are
having with it. But make sure you include the problem (such as what you
do, what you see, any messages you see etc.)

There are plenty of other alternatives, and what is best is really
difficult to say without knowing any details about the website.

- There are companies that crawls your (public) website and you can use
their servers to implement search functionality on your site.
- You can write your own search engine using existing database server to
search the content (providing that all documents are stored in a
database). Of course, you are not limited to database storage, assuming
you know how to read your data files.
- You can use free search engines and third-party indexing applications,
such as Lucene.Net and Seekafile Server or TSEP.
- Check out google's services, Google is quite good at search applications.

Re: Search in IIS 6 what"s best

It was a file not found. I resolved that and it works. I was asking about
the best solution as I wondered if there was something better than what I
was using.

Thanks

Re: Search in IIS 6 what"s best

Hi John,

How you resolved the file not found problem? I have server 2003 with IIS 5
and get the file not found error when do a search from the web. I checked the
file is there in the location. The same code that works on other servers (XP
and 2003 with IIS 6). I do not know what is wrong with the configuration.

Any help will be appreciated.

Thanks,
Rose
