I found a magic word that breaks our search engine in Portal 2003.
Perfoming a search for the word search brings back results as broken
links.
for instance:
http://dev1/sites/services/sharepoint/portal-navigation-areas-<span%
20class='ms-HoverCellActive'>search</span>es.ppt
as you can see the SPAN tag is the culprit that makes this url broken.
Anyone notice this, verify this, fix this?
