I tried to use http://www.opensearchserver.com/ to index our Intranet file directory. That works fine. The Problem is, that the search result shows file:/// links, which are not supported by all modern web browser (maybe for security reasons).

For my Intranet I do not need this file:/// link protection. I just want to click on this link to open the file.

Do you know any solution to this problem?

    not sure what you are talking about. Firefox and Chrome support it just fine. Could you link to an article describing the security problems you are talking about? – Steffen Winkler Apr 21 '15 at 13:14
  • If you open a webpage e.g. http : //page.html and this page contains a link to file:///data.pdf, the link to this file does not work – Martin Apr 21 '15 at 13:23
  • not for me. Created a test.html file with a test and could click it without a problem. – Steffen Winkler Apr 21 '15 at 13:42
  • upload this file to a web server and try to do the same again. – Martin Apr 21 '15 at 13:57
  • not going to unless you link some sort of article describing how this is a security risk or why/when it was disabled. To my knowledge, you won't find such an article. The problem isn't your browser. It's your server. See http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Directory_traversal_attack#URI_encoded_directory_traversal for details on why it is usually disabled. – Steffen Winkler Apr 21 '15 at 14:15

If the created html file is file:// too, then it will work. if its an http:// page, links with file:// DO NOT work. on the newest browsers at least... IE7 should do it
