Hi all,

I seem to have a weird problem with SPS 2003 search after upgrading
from no SP to SP2.

We work with wildcard search and scopes. Example: a typical url how
the search page is called can look like this:
http://intranet/Search.aspx?k=%20"test*"%20&s=AWM

This worked in the past without any problems. Now we experience
several
problems at the same time:
- Incremental serach index builds do never end (full work, though)
- Wildcard is not applied (only word-breaker-known words word, but not
"t*" for example
- Search scope is not applied anymore, sharepoint finds results from
all top level sites instead of restricting to one
(http://intranet/sites/awm = serach scope; all our top-level sites
define one search scope)
Does anyone have an idea what this could be? We have customized the
searchresults webpart by applying

OR FREETEXT(#WeightedProps, '%__keywordinput__%') ) AND
(%__sourcegroups__%) %__morewhereCondition__% OR
CONTAINS('"%__keywordinput__%"')

However, this was always like this...

I would be glad for any help, I'm really lost...

Have a good day, bye
Michael
