I think this question has already been answered once but I don'tremember the solution. I have installed RTM of SPS 2003 and the database isresiding on a SQL server with full text searching enabled.I have created a main portal site and sub sites within that main portal site. Ihave enabled searching and created content sources of the subsites as well asthe main portal space. Ran full crawls of the portal site and sub sites.When I do a search on the main portal site for a document that is in the subsite I get no results. However, if I do a search from the sub site for the samedocument I get results. I am searching on the main portal and sub sites form mypc which I am admin on the entire server itself as well as both main portal andsub sites.Any ideas?
Were the crawls successful?When you created the sites, did you check the box that saids include insearch results?If you didn't check this box, then you are not going to get any resultsfrom these sites.
Yes, the crawls were successful. I did check the box that said include insearch results. Also, I reset the indexes and re-ran full updates, but this didnot help.
Try look into your DNS configuration, and check if it is setupcorrectly, and if that do not work, then check your hostnameconfiguration.
