Set result= engine.Find(Request.QueryString()) ' launch searching

if result.Valid then
if result.Count = 0 then
Response.Write("Sorry, your words were not found!")
else
Response.Write("Your words were found in " + Result.Count + " documents.")
Response.Write("Displaying " + Result.LastDoc - Result.FirstDoc + " of them:")

for i=result.FirstDoc to last
Set line= result(i)
Response.Write(line.Section("url","",""))
