I have done a crawl on my local server. When I do a search from a remote workstation, it successfully finds the files I'm looking for, but the links are in a format like file:///e:/apps/Microsoft Site Server/test, and then when I click on the link, it does not find the file. How do I change it so the link will be in a URL format i.e. http://servername/sitename/file.ext?

It is typicall FrontPage's magic! The pages were created by Frontpage.

Edit the whole site by frontpage and re-publish it under its original directory. FrontPage will fix the links automatically. The reason having this problem is that all the pages were created by FrontPage but they were not published by FrontPage. That is why you have seen the file:// definitions.

Try it will work.

This was not the problem, it turned out to be a simple case of mapping in Site Server.

Thanks, and keep up the good work on Techrepublic.
