Re: wss 3.0 Search is Killing Me

Hello, I'm encountering the same thing on my installation. I upgraded my
2.0 installation and ever since my search no longer works. Search returns no
results or errors.

I'm running on server 2003 SP2 (for both servers) IIS & Search server is on
one box and SQL 2000 SP4 on a second database server.

no proxy of any type.

Any suggestions would be appreciated.

i also get the occasional Event ID 2436

After further tinkering; i'm convinced the problem is with AAM.
I've read Troy Starr's Blog on AAM but just don't get it.
I don't have a proxy service and every article I read on AAM seems to be
wrtten for big systems that use a Proxy Server.

I got it to work for a few hours once. but that's it. The only error
message I get from the sharepoint server's log is the Gatherer Event 2436
Warning shown below.

Event Type: Warning
Event Source: Windows SharePoint Services 3 Search
Event Category: Gatherer
Event ID: 2436
Computer: GSPSERVER
Description: The start address
<sts3://mikeangelo.com/contentdbid={71521041-4199-4488-9019-a078f6e03c4e}>
cannot be crawled.
Context: Application 'Search index file on the search server', Catalog
'Search'
Details: The object was not found. (0x80041201)

That 's it, a contentdbid can't be crawled and an object can't be found.
How does one decypher such a warning? It makes no sense to me.
Please, Can anyone offer some guidance? All I can think of doing is
reformat, reinstall, and restore (again for the 3rd time).
