When you submit a search on a page containing the FrontPage Search component, the results are returned, but the navigation bars on the page are gone.

This behavior occurs when the server hosting your web is running Microsoft Index Server. When you save a page that contains a Search Form component, FrontPage creates an .idq file. This file is used by Index server to determine which folders and files to search. FrontPage also creates a template file to be used for the results. This file is stored in the _derived folder and is named <filename>.htm0.htx where <filename> is the name of the file that contains the Search Form component. Because this template file is not in the navigation structure of the web, the navigation bars don't appear in the Web browser.
