Hey Hollis,

Thanks for the pointer on Search gurus.

Would you please explain how you make sure that the SPS2003 Full Text
Search component was installed?

I am of the understanding that one uses the search features included
with SPS to search sites from the portal OR one uses the full-text with
SQL Server 2000 and enables full-text with WSS, but not both.

What am I missing here conceptually?
