Thank you Jim for giving me more easily understood instructions. I will try your suggestions. In the meantime though, after I read, and re-read your previous reply to me several times, I added a link to my localhost index.html page for the user files I was trying to use in the search database. This worked, with no changes to the config file. And yes .htm extensions worked just fine.
I was also able to place a search box on my user's home page and create a symbolic link to htsearch. So far so good. One more question though. Some of the files that I have in my user web pages are .txt extensions. These work with the web browser, but are not indexed in the search. Is this something that can be corrected in the config file? With the external parser?? Thanks again. C Bud __________________________________ Do you Yahoo!? The New Yahoo!
