Hit-Highlighting Errors
Note
Indexing Service is no longer supported as of Windows XP and is unavailable for use as of Windows 8. Instead, use Windows Search for client side search and Microsoft Search Server Express for server side search.
The following messages are generated by errors in hit-highlighting syntax in .htw files.
| Message | Explanation |
|---|---|
| A <%BeginDetail%> section was found in the template file, without a matching <%EndDetail%> section. | In the .htw file, every <%BeginDetail%> must be followed by a matching <%EndDetail%> tag. |
| An <%EndDetail%> section was found in the template file before a <%BeginDetail%> section. | In the .htw file, a <%BeginDetail%> tag must precede an <%EndDetail%> tag. |
| An <%EndDetail%> section was found in the template file, without a matching <%BeginDetail%> section. | In the .htw file, an <%EndDetail%> tag must be preceded by a <%BeginDetail%> tag. |
| CONTENT_LENGTH is non-positive. | This message indicates a browser error or IIS error. Please try again with Microsoft Internet Explorer. |
| The file is too large to hit highlight. | The maximum size file that can be hit-highlighted is a little larger than 1 megabyte (MB). |
| The format of QUERY_STRING is invalid. | The specification of Webhits parameters in QUERY_STRING does not conform to the format: [ws][Name of Parameter][ws][=][ws][escaped value of parameter][ws][&] where this is repeated for each command-line parameter, and [ws] (whitespace) is optional. |
| Hit-highlighting took too long to execute and was timed out. | Webhits has taken longer than the allotted time to process a document, and the server has timed out. The document may be too big or it may be corrupted. Ask the administrator to check the document. If you get this message, increase the setting for the MaxWebhitsCpuTime parameter in the registry. |
| The Internet Data Query (.idq) file specified cannot be found. | Check the path to the .idq file and make sure the file is in that path. |
| An invalid variable name was found in QUERY_STRING. | While parsing QUERY_STRING, Webhits.dll encountered a parameter whose name it did not recognize. |
| No such property. | The query involves a custom property, but does not specify an .idq file with a [Names] section describing this property, or the property name was not found in the [Names] section of the specified .idq file. |
| A parameter to Webhits.dll was specified more than once. | Check the Webhits parameters in the file where it is invoked, in the .htx file, for example. |
| The path specified is incorrect. | Webhits.dll failed to get one of the CGI variables PATH_TRANSLATED or PATH_INFO. |
| The query issued is invalid. | Webhits.dll failed to get the CGI variable QUERY_STRING, or CiRestriction is not specified in QUERY_STRING. |
| REQUEST_METHOD is neither a GET nor POST CGI variable. | This message indicates a browser error or IIS error. Please try again with Internet Explorer. |
| The template file specified in CiTemplate cannot be found. | Check the path to the .htw file and make sure the file is in that path. |
| There are too many copies of hit-highlighter running. Please try later. | There are more simultaneous instances of Webhits than the maximum number set in the MaxRunningWebhits registry key. Try executing your query later when the server is less busy. |
