This is no longer supported in V8.


We have decided to discontinue support for the ASP.NET search interface (aka the ASP.NET Server Control) in response to changes in our user base and Microsoft's indication of the future of the platform. It is no longer a commercially viable option for us to continue to support.


While V8 does not natively provide an ASP.NET search front end, the older V7 server control (below) is still compatible and it is provided here as a legacy option. Note however that no support will be provided for this option.

Please refer to the Users Guide or Help file chapter, "Installing the ASP.NET native control" for more information and instructions on how to use this.
