External Searches - How do I... - 06/28/2002 8:29 PM
Hi all-
I maintain our corporate knowledgebase. It's search engine uses the MS Index server, which does a great job of locating existing files, but it doesn't search the UBB database. So...
I'd like to create form that searches both the Index Server AND the UBB. To do this, I would need to send my search parameters to the appropritate UBB page, and then scrape the results back.
So here is the question - what page of the UBB performs the searches, and what field names and values must I supply to it? (And are they in a GET or POST format?)
Can this be done?
