Note: The ASP.NET option (not Classic ASP) is a special case, and requires the installation of the ASP.NET Server Control (see the next chapter for more information). The "search.aspx" file, which is the search page will not be found in the Output directory as the files above. It will be installed with the ASP.NET Server Control directly on the server.
