Re: Non-Portal content not being returned in search results?



Thanks for the tip ... that was a really quick response!

Unfortunately, my problem is a bit different from yours as the crawls are
happening (correct number of documents are shown as being indexed)
sucessfully. I tried it anyway, but nothing changed.

On a separate note, I did manage to solve the WSS search problem. It seems
that viewing the page and seeing the checkbox for full text search filled
wasn't enough. I needed to clidk "OK". About a half second later that part
of the problem was solved. <G>

Maybe someone can help me out here ...

To start off with, we had a single-server SPS 2003 solution running on SQL
Server 2005 Express. (MSDE was not an option because the machine is also
a
domain controller). In this "proof of concept" environment, everything
worked flawlessly.

Now in the implementation phase, that same server still hosts the SPS 2003
installation, but a 2nd server running SQL 2005 Enterprise now hosts the
database content.

There wasn't much documentation covering the migration to be found, and
the
process didn't go as smoothly as I would have liked, but ... the site is
once
again up and running.

My only remaining problem is this: Nothing I do can return search results
from any non-portal content. If I search on a term from within the
portal,
even if I choose "All Sources" the only results I get are from the 150 or
so
documents indexed within the portal. If I search on any term in any of
the
newfound search boxes on the WSS subsites (full text search is now on, but
wasn't an option in the previous configuration) I get nothing.

I realize that these are 2 separate search engines and therefore might be
2
separate problems, however I thought it was curious that neither worked
and
that they may somehow be related.

On the SPS side, in looking at the gatherer logs, there are no posted
errors
and it claims to have indexed almost 600 documents (which would be
correct).
I switched to advanced index mode, reset the non-portal index and rebuilt
it,
but this changed nothing.

Anyone have any ideas?
