I'v been Searching three weeks for answers and I've worked through every
solution I can Google, yet I still I can't get sharepoint Search to
function.
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).

My failed Searchs turned out to be missconfigured AAM (Alternate
Access Mappings). Yes!
I have come to think of AAM as a kin to DNS. I found a very good
document on AAM in a single server farm here >
http://guru-web.blogspot.com/2008/01/sharepoint-site-by-any-other-name.html
and after reading Ivan's blog, I fixe my Alternate Access mappings
and Search works again.
