Hey,
I'll try to describe this best as I can since I'm kind of confused myself and haven't gotten much info from my network admin.
We used to have it so that the main search on a website searches the entire site, and the network admin had it so that in your form, you don't actually called the search.cgi file, but a search.exe.
He created a virtual directory with the index collection inside of it and disabled cgi files from being run. He created a search.exe that I'm guessing runs the search.cgi. So if I wanted to run a search, in the form I just call "whateverURL/search.exe".
Now, after recieving new specs, they want certain sections of the site have their own index collection, (different search boxes search different content). So I went and created multiple index collections, but now I'm faced with the dilmena of that search.exe file. If I call that search.exe file, it just searches the original index collection. Went to my network admin about this and he said that in the searchreqeust, I could point it to the main search file, and then in the URI tell it to what folder the index files are.
Any clue how I would do what he suggested? Or, is there any other way I could do this, maybe without having to have multiple index collections? Thanks.
