problem in search coding...
hey everybody. i've been trying to fix a search engine on a website that i helped develop and i cant figure out the problem. i have everything indexed and the search works fine in the indexing service. the problem seems to be in the asp coding somewhere. when i run a search for something like "kjarfoih" it says 'no search results to display' just like it should. but when i search for something like "smith" it gives me a blank page as if it has found something but can't display it. also, if i search for a more common word, the blank page has a scroll bar on the side as if there should be a lot of results there. i've looked at the search loop in the coding and there are two breaks right near the end of the loop. i figure thats where the blank page is coming from. here is the coding:
Dim Index Set Index = Server.CreateObject("IXSSO.Query") Index.SetQueryFromURL Request.QueryString Index.DefineColumn "dc_description (DBTYPE_WSTR) = d1b5d3f0-c0b3-11cf-9a92-00a0c908dbf1 dc.description" Index.DefineColumn "dc_title (DBTYPE_WSTR) = d1b5d3f0-c0b3-11cf-9a92-00a0c908dbf1 dc.title" Index.DefineColumn "dc_subject (DBTYPE_WSTR) = d1b5d3f0-c0b3-11cf-9a92-00a0c908dbf1 dc.subject" Index.Columns = "filename,HitCount,dc_description,dc_title,dc_subje ct" Index.SortBy = "dc_title" Index.MaxRecords = 300 Dim Results Set Results = Index.CreateRecordset("nonsequential") Response.Write "<html>" Response.Write "<head>" Response.Write "<Title>New Tecumseth Digital History - Search Results</Title>" Response.Write "</head>" Response.Write "<body bgcolor=" & chr(34) & "#F7EFD6" & chr(34) & "LINK=" & chr(34) & "#993333" & chr(34) & "VLINK=" & chr(34) & "#666633" & chr(34) & ">" Response.Write "<table border=0 cellpadding=3 cellspacing=5 width=530>" Response.Write "<tr>" Response.Write "<td>" Response.Write "<div align=" & chr(34) & "center" & chr(34) & ">" Response.Write "<p>" Response.Write "<font face=" & chr(34) & "arial" & chr(34) & " size=3>" Response.Write "<b>Search Results</b>" Response.Write "</font>" Response.Write "</p>" Response.Write "</div>" Response.Write "<p>" Response.Write "<font face=" & chr(34) & "arial" & chr(34) & " size=2>" If Not Results.Eof Then Do While Not Results.Eof Response.Write "<b><a href=" & chr(34) & "/history/database/" Response.Write Results("filename") Response.Write chr(34) & ">" Response.Write Results("dc_title") & chr(34) & "</b></a><br>" Response.Write Results("dc_description") Response.Write "<br><br>" Results.MoveNext Loop Else Response.Write "No results were found." End If Response.Write "</font>" Response.Write "</p>" Response.Write "</td>" Response.Write "</tr>" Response.Write "</table>" Response.Write "</body>" Response.Write "</html>" %> the red area is where i think the problem is. i've managed to get it to display a link if i change this line: Response.Write Results("dc_title") & chr(34) & "</b></a><br>" to this: Response.Write Results("dc_title") & chr(34) & "Blah blah blah"</b></a><br>" but then all of the links say 'blah blah blah'! i've messed around with this line SO much and i cant get it to work properly. anyone have any ideas? the website address is: www.newtecumseth.library.on.ca/history if you need me to post the coding for one of the indexed pages just let me know and i can do that. if you visit the site, you may get some strange errors because i'm constantly messing around with it.

I'm confused, your search seems to be working. However, what I'm getting back is where each match has the following:
"Our listing function is experiencing technical difficulties, however, this link will take you to a page related to your query." With links to a page that did contain the word I searched for. Don't know where you problem is.

when the results display, it is supposed to show the title of the page and the description of the page but for whatever reason it wont. all i can manage to make it do is show that message. i should also mention that the whole site was moved from one server to a new one so it all had to be re-indexed. maybe that is causing the problem somehow.....
i just found the same problem on another search engine on that site. the address is: http://www.newtecumesth.library.on.ca/banting/main.html i havent fixed this one up at all so you can see what i mean by the blank page thing. try searching for something common and then uncommon and you'll see what i mean with the scroll bar thing. its finding stuff, just not displaying the title/description. could it be a problem in the way it was indexed? like maybe the dc_title and dc_description part?

Glad you got it working ... Since I've never used indexes I was trying to see what the issue could be ...
Thanks for posting the resolution to this.
