Error and response messages are used to either provide feedback to the user, or to request information from the user.
Error and response message templates are used to display the content of error and response messages sent to them by the Web Search Server. Similar to search and print templates, error and response templates can be customized. However, because the contents of error and response messages are built in to NetWare Web Search Server, you cannot modify the contents of the messages or the button objects that might appear, depending on the type of response being generated.
There are several error messages that can be returned to a user. For example, when a user incorrectly uses a search operator in a search form, they might get the message, "Search Error: Incorrect use of Boolean operator." An error number might also appear.
While you can utilize HTML tags to format an error message, add or remove variables to determine what information is shown to the user, or even reorganize where the messages will appear in the template, you cannot modify the message itself.
The same concepts apply to response messages, but response messages return buttons that a user can click. Which buttons appear are determined by the NetWare Web Search Server. While you can modify the labels of these buttons, you cannot determine which buttons will appear, or when.
