Sorry it took so long to get back on this.

By the way, the serach tool on the web is accessible again from:
   http://techpubs.sgi.com/library/manuals/3000/007-3632-001/html/

This is response to the Performer search tool that works as a CGI on a Web
server. Any questions about this tool or configuration issues, can be directed
to me (dvogt++at++sgi.com).

If you are using a Netscape server you will need to edit your obj.conf file.

For a Netscape server the obj.conf can be found in
  /usr/ns-home/httpd-<port or host name>/config

Add the following line with the other lines that start with "NameTrans."
   NameTrans fn="pfx2dir" from=/performer
dir="/Performer2.2/var/www/performer"
Edit the line that looks like:
   NameTrans fn=pfx2dir from=/cgi-bin dir="/var/www/cgi-bin" name="cgi"
to look like:
   NameTrans fn=pfx2dir from=/cgi-bin dir="/Performer2.2/var/www/cgi-bin"
name="cgi"

You will have to restart the Netscape Server in order for these changes to take
affect.

To access the API Search tool use the following syntax:
    http://<hostname>/performer
