SYMPTOMS

After you install Netscape Navigator, and you make it your default browser, Index Server uses Text filter instead of HTML filter to filter HTML files.

CAUSE

Netscape overwrites the class data in the registry.

WORKAROUND

For Index Server 1.x:

Reinstall Index Server to re-enter registry keys.

For Index Server 2.0 and Indexing Service:

Stop and restart the Index Server or Service to register the filters on startup.
