Intranet HTML Search Engine Code Keeps Failing
I am currently working on a project for work, which entails placing a search button on the Intranet. I have the code in place but when I try to search for a document, I get the following message:
Internal Server Error
The server encountered an internal error or misconfiguration and was unable to complete your request.
Please contact the server administrator, [no address given] and inform them of the time the error occurred, and anything you might have done that may have caused the error.
More information about this error may be available in the server error log.
I have the code below. I have a feeling I am just missing something small. Any help that can be given would be great.
Thank you!

Thank you for your help. I will take a look at the IBM sites. I had a feeling the my path was wrong, so I am going to continue to figure it out.
Thanks again for your help.
Thanks again for your help.
First of all let's turn off friendly Error messages. This will give more detail in finding the problem.
Click to Tool --> Internet Options --> Advanced.
Uncheck Show Friendly HTTP error messages and click OK
Load the page again, and report back the error message
Neal.
