Hi. I’m having a problem with domain search for the web on one of our servers. When the results are returned, the column with the document title is not appearing as a click-able link. It’s just plain text. I am not that familiar with the domain search feature and the guy who had all the knowledge recently left our company. Apparently this has been a problem since before he left and was a problem on previous versions of domino. Because of that fact, I don’t believe that the version (currently 6.5) has anything to do with this problem.
We have 3 more servers which share replica copies of the notes database and do not have this problem. I don’t think that the problem is specific to the database. All of those servers are R6 or higher.
This is sounding like a server setting to me… maybe?
Has anyone else seen this problem or have any ideas on how to correct it?
Thanks!
Bob

To set the Domain Indexer task 1. If you have Web clients, make sure you have set up the indexing server, as well as each server to be spidered by the indexer, as a Domino Web server.
- Make sure you have created the Domain Catalog on the indexing server.
Note The Catalog task that creates the Domain Catalog must have finished before you start the Domain Indexer task.
-
From the Domino Administrator, select the server that you want to be the indexing server.
-
Click the Configuration tab.
-
Expand the Server section in the view pane.
-
Click Current Server Document.
-
Click “Edit Server,” and then click the Server Tasks - Domain Indexer tab.
-
In the Schedule field, select Enabled.
-
Click OK.
-
Set the indexing schedule to meet the needs of your organization.
-
Select the servers that you want to include in the index in the “Limit domain wide indexing to the following servers” field. Use wildcard characters to index all servers certified with a specific certifier – for example */Sales/East/Acme. If the field is blank (default), the Domain Indexer indexes all databases for which the “Include in multi database indexing” property is enabled.
-
If you have Web clients, do the following to allow the indexing server to form valid URLs when the results of a search are displayed in a browser:
Click the Internet Protocols - HTTP tab.
For the host name, enter the fully qualified name of the computer that serves as the indexing server, for example, servername.acme.com.
Click the Domino Web Engine tab.
Under Generating References to this Server, enter the information for the indexing server. Make sure you use the server’s fully qualified domain name in the Host name field.
Under Conversion/Display, in the “Redirect to resolve external links” field, select “By Database.”
Selecting “By Database” allows the indexing server to resolve more URLs for users. If the indexing server can’t resolve the database link in a URL, it checks with the Domain Catalog to locate a replica of the database.
-
Click “Save and Close.”
-
Restart the server by entering this command:
restart server
The Domain Indexer runs when next scheduled.
