Wss 3.0 Sharepoint search not working.  No results returned.

Asked by lambch0p in MOSS-Sharepoint

Tags: search, wss, working, sharepoint

Hi,

I've been tasked to look at a problem with Searching in our WSS 3.0 environment.  The server was upgraded from WSS 2.0, to WSS 3.0 and the databases are now running on SQL 2005.  Search is not working in the Sharepoint sites, no results are returned.

In the SQL DB, a catalog exists for the content database, but there are no objects (columns, fields etc) in this catalog, so it is obviously useless.  Right-clicking the catalog show that it currently contains 0 items.

The servers are configured in a farm.  Only one of the servers is running the Sharepoint Services Search service.  I don't know what these are, and I don't know if it's relevant, but we don't have any SSP's configured.

Any help getting our search working, or advice on how to rebuild the indexes would be much appreciated.

Thx
