I need some help on setting up a search using CGI.
I created a search index with the CP as shown. The search, when tested there, works correctly.
I then tried using the HTML generated, but with no success. The directions say just paste the code into an HTML page. If you paste it into FrontPage, you just get a display of the HTML code.
If you upload just a HTML page with the code directly to the base directory of the site via FTP and then browse, you get a blank page.
So, how do you get this to work? FrontPage's own search component doesn't work at LunarPages. In any event, the entropy search looks better, if I can get it working. Looking at the code, you would expect a "submit" button to be visible. The generated code is this:
<form action="/cgi-sys/entropysearch.cgi" target=searchwindow>
Search Query <input type="text" name="query" value="">
<input type="hidden" name="user" value="charl1">
<input type="hidden" name="basehref" value="
http://charleston-press.com">
<input type="hidden" name="template" value="default">
<input type="submit" value="Search">
</form>
