Search does not work at all

Hi,

First time being here.
I'm totaly new with SharePoint Portal Service 2003.
I'm working on a Portal site that was constructed by
somebody else.
Everything he did works fine but not the seach. There are
some document library's with documents inside. The only
thing that I want now is to search through a word that's
inside a word or text document. The search should display
then all the documents that contain that word. But the
search does never find something. I don't know where to
look. Does anybody can help me to correct my problem.

Thanks.

Rony,

It sounds like you are using SharePoint Portal Server 2003 for search? If
so, the proper place to ask your question is
microsoft.public.sharepoint.portalserver. If you did a newsgroup search of
that newsgroup you would find quite a few discussions about search problems.
When you post to the SPS newsgroup, I would suggest adding a bit more
information. Are you searching from the portal or from within a site? Are no
results being returned, or just no documents in your results? Are the
documents you are expecting to find located in an SPS 2003 document library?
Have you checked the log for error messages? Etc...
