Hi all
I have a SPS 2003 Portal Site and I created three wss sites from the Portal
Site itself. Sitedirectory index job ran and I am able to search those
documents in the wss site document libraries only from the Portal site
search.

Why can't I search from the individual WSS site -> Search Box? Do I need
some sort of permission to do that?

Thanks
Siva

Check to make sure that the SQL Server's full text indexing is running. WSS
uses that to index themselves. Also, on the main page of the Central
Administration tool, select "configure full-text search" to make sure it is
enabled.

I also had this problem, however, everything was configured correctly in SPS.
After searching all over, I found the fix for my version of this problem at
http://wss.collutions.com/Lists/FAQ/DispForm.aspx?ID=157.

There are a number of suggestions in that thread, but the one that worked in
my situation was putting the BuiltIn\Administrators group back into the
Security\Logins on the SQL server. MS recommends as a best practice removing
this group for security reasons, but this is the second case for my company
in the last year where this has broken an MS app.

I am merely posting here in case this can help someone in the future.
