Whenever using the search function on the top right of the web pages,I get "The webpage cannot be found" when trying to go to the link:portal/searchcenter/Pages/Results.aspx...etc.....and even clicking on the "advanced search" link that is next toit,I get the "Error An unexpected error has occurred."I understand that this has been true for some time now without theusers telling, so it's hard to backtrack and pinpoint the time ortriggering event of this problem.Any thoughts?
Have you checked the SharePoint logs in the 12 hive for any significanterror activity?
Sounds like the index is not working. In order to search, you have toindex. Have you tried running a full index?
Well, I have initiated a crawl... is that the same thing?
Ok, that is a good start. But has the crawl completed? Was it a fullcrawl? Did it propagate? Did you look at the crawl logs? Can you senda printscreen of the host summary page for the crawl?
when u create search center , you must edit the search center for the sitecollection Settings and when u type the URL dont add the .aspx just typehttp://portal/ searchcenter/
