Jouledoc Notes on Web

Thank
you for your suggestion. I did as you suggested, and stopped the
Windows SharePoint Services Search. When I did the standard search, it
worked normally. When I did the Search: This Site, I got a message I
had not gotten before…. It was

Your search cannot be completed because this site is not assigned to an indexer.

I
restarted the SharePoint Services Search, but still got the same
error. So I looked up what I needed to check to verify my Indexer
settings and found the following: “To start it, you have to visit your
content database in Central Admin Application Management. In the SharePoint Web Application Management section, click on Content Databases. This should expose your content database for the farm.”

So
I did just that. I went to Application Management on the Central
Administration site and clicked on Content Databases. I saw my
database; WSS_Content and clicked on it to view the settings. Sure
enough, the Search Server (Indexer) was not selected. I chose my index
server (my only SP server) and clicked OK. I retried the Search: This
Site, and got a message that there were no results to be found!!! Woo
Hoo!!! No error message!!!

I
stopped and restarted my Content Crawls by going to Shared Services
Admin>Shared Services>Search Settings (under Search)>Content
sources and crawl schedules. I have 3 sources; the SP server and
sites, a shared folders directory, and the Exchange Public Folders
directory. I stopped and started the crawl on all 3 and then tried the
Search: This Site once again…… Success!!!! I am getting search
results now.

Unfortunately,
I do not know if this was the actual root cause of the problem I was
experiencing with the Search: This Site function. I had not been
getting an Indexer error previously. This one is a head
scratcher….. I am glad it is working though.
