You've posted to the appliance group. If you have an appliance you should direct users to the "Live Search" url for the desired profile.

If you're referring to Webinator you need to install it on the server using the install program that comes with Webinator and configure your profiles and perform crawls on the server.

Dear Sir Thanks for ur Quick Response.
Yes of course I m using Webinator, actually I m totally new for remote hosting, Please: do U mean that I should install webinator-5.1_6.exe directly on remote server or through ftp Program like cuteftp. Or we should ask our web host to do that for us. Or any other suggestion
Thanks for ur Help

You have to download the proper version of Webinator for the OS running on the remote host. Upload it to the remote host via ftp or scp and install there from an ssh session.

If none of that makes sense to you try contacting your hosting provider to see if they'll install it for you.
