Using MSN Search

Hi Gang,

I wrote MSN Search into my ASP.NET 2.0 website and confugured it to search
only my website so that, in effect, it is a local search utility. I
published the website back in September. It took until last month for my
website to get indexed. The problem is that search results are returned only
for the default page.

If I change the website to be searched to some other site, results come back
for all pages.

I was wondering if anybody knows how this works. Does MSN index the home
page first and then come back and do the other pages later?

Thanks.

Steve

I'm implementing an algorithm and the computational flow is a somewhat deep. That is, fcn A makes many calls to fcn B which makes many calls to fcn C, and so on. The return value of the outermost fcn is a boolean and there are certain places within the inner functions where it may become apparent that the return value is false. In this case I'd like to halt the computation immediately and return false. My current approach is to have...

Hi! My problem is basically in a search modal window, where the user is allowed to make a selection on which option to take. After selecting an option and then giving the data to search, the user clicks the "OK" button and the user gets taken back to the "Customer" form with the correct searched record. The function works fine except that every now and then it takes 3-5 seconds to close the search modal window and goes back to the...
