Use search scope from another portal site

Any body use this feature? I assume that I should just have to go into my
child portal (shared services) and enter the url of my parent portal. This
should then cause my child portal to start using the search scope of the
parent? Am I missing something else I need to do?

Wouldn't it be nice if there was some documentation on shared services? :-)

Thanks

Just thought I would poke again to see if anyone had any ideas or had used
this feature.

Thanks

Just one more poke. ;) I don't understand why I can't get this
functionality to work but it just escapes me.

Thanks

I think you have mis-interpreted that page. It says that: "In a shared
services environment, you can associate this portal with the search scope of
another portal. Search results on the associated portal will then include the
contents of this portal."

So, you need to see if you can see the contents of the child portal when you
do a search on the parent portal.

Parent is the Shared Service Provider (parent) and Child is the shared
services consumer (child)

If I do a search on Parent I find my news item. (Search word Shane)
If I do a search on Child I find my news item. (Search word Shane)

I then go into child and tell it to associate itself with the search scope
of parent. I go back to parent and do full updates on the indexes. The
number of documents does not increase.

Now I do a search on Parent and do not find any news from the child (search
word hero)
Now I do a search on Child and do not find any news from the child (search
word hero)


If I add the child portal as external content and then search for HERO
everything works fine. UGH.


Anybody got any ideas?

I would expect that you would see another index file listed on the parent as
a new source. Did that show up?

And are you sure that you have a scope for it and it has an include
statement? Or is it that you have to create a scope before you see the
content source? I get confused about how these things are related.
