A few
FrontPage features require FrontPage Server Extensions to operate.
One example is the Search FrontPage component, which allows you
to add site-wide searching to your Web site without programming.
For these features to work, the Internet server hosting the FrontPage
Web site must have the FrontPage server extensions installed. FrontPage
includes a set of programs-the FrontPage Server Extensions-that
are installed on the Web server computer on which your FrontPage
webs are stored. If you installed the Microsoft Personal Web Server
or Microsoft Peer Web Services, FrontPage Setup installed the FrontPage
Server Extensions on your PC. The Server Extensions support authoring
and administering FrontPage webs, along with browse-time FrontPage
web functionality. For example, when an author is editing a FrontPage
web, the Server Extensions support copying or publishing it to other
Web servers, creating a table of contents for the web, adding themes
and navigational structure to it, and updating hyperlinks to any
pages that have been moved or renamed. Using the Server Extensions,
an administrator can give a user, group of users, or a specific
computer permissions to edit a FrontPage web, browse to it, or administer
it. When a user browses a FrontPage web, the Server Extensions support
search forms, discussions groups, form processing (including sending
form results using e-mail), and other run-time features.
