SharePoint User Group UK

Hi

We just upgraded to MOSS 2007 from SPS 2003. Has run smoothly upgrading the sites etc but cannot get Search to work.

 All we get is:-

No results matching your search were found.

I have tried a full crawl, and it said its crawled but only 1 item in the index.

FYI, We are running on SQL 2000 

Any help appreciated...

You could try reseting the index and performing a full crawl.  After the crawl did you have any errors in the crawl log?

How do i reset the index?

In the crawl log

got a little bit further, it now says crawled again. but still 1 in the index.

It goes from Crawling, to computer ranking and then idle in about 5 seconds.

Looks like the default content access account doesn't have access to the sharepoint sites.  This user needs to have read rights in SharePoint.  You set this in the Shared Services Provider > Search Settings.

In the Search settings page you should see a link to reset all crawled content.

done that, in the search results it found a page under construction, but looks like it is working but not the old content on sites etc.

so like you said sounds like rights on the sites, but I am using administrator account as the content access.

I wonder if there is something in the sites settings under each site for search.

now working great!!

what i done is on the farm server settings, it was set too our proxy server for some reason?? doh! so took that off and now its upto 4000 items in the index.

Thanks for troubleshooting with me Dave.
