After upgrading from a previous version of Web Search or QuickFinder Server, be aware of the following issues:
If you are migrating from an existing NetWare server with Web Search Server to a new Linux server with QuickFinder Server, you must manually copy files from NetWare to Linux so that everything doesn’t need to be newly created.
QuickFinder Server 5.0 indexes are not compatible with previous version of QuickFinder Server. The indexes must be regenerated, and you cannot synchronize QuickFinder Server 5.0 indexes with indexes from a previous version of QuickFinder Server (and vice-versa).
The new template files are not placed in the <qfsearch>/Templates directory because this overwrites any changes you might have made to them.
Instead, the new template files are placed in the <qfsearch>/Templates/Samples directory. To take advantage of the functionality the new templates provide, copy the template files from the <qfsearch>Templates/Samples directory to the <qfsearch>/Templates directory.
