No WSS search box on my SPS portal team sites

In a previous post another user had this same problem. Search is working
fine from the portal into the team sites, but the team sites don't show a
search box.

I've checked and the SQL server full text search box is checked and when I
go to Central Administration for Windows SharePoint Services to check the
indexing setup. I get a message: "The database this serveris using does not
support search" Any suggestions? Thx

Are you using SQL server or MSDE (standard installation)? MSDE does not
support full text search in team sites. Only SQL server supports this.

Portal comes with it's own indexing/search, independent of SQL server
search.

Have you upgraded the SPPS database to SQL2000 server, SP3A? And if yes, did
you include the Search component in the IIS package?

This is a SQL Server 2000 Standard implentation that has SP3 with indexing
enabled. I'll try upgrading to SP3a and report back on the success/failure.
Thx.

Hi Paul,

Thanks for your reply. I went into SQL Server Enterprise Manager, expanded
the _site tree and there isn't an index option or full text catalog there.
How did you rebuild that index?
