STS: Error Message: There Is No Catalog
This article was previously published under Q299693
When you search a SharePoint Team Services document library, the following error message appears:
The catalog pointing to the SharePoint Search Proxy virtual server is not named OWS_Search_Proxy.
Create a catalog for the Indexing Service with the correct name. To do this, follow these steps:
- Right-click the Windows Start button and then click Explore on the menu that appears.
- In Windows Explorer, create a folder to hold the catalog. For example, create the following folder:
c:\inetpub\mycatalog
Place your folder in the c:\inetpub folder. - Quit Windows Explorer.
- Right-click the My Computer icon on the desktop, and then click Manage.
- When the Computer Management console appears, expand (click the plus sign next to) the Services and Applications item.
- Right-click Indexing Service, point to New, and then click Catalog.
- Name the catalog OWS_Search_Proxy.
NOTE: Be sure to spell the name exactly as it appears here. - Click Browse, select the folder you created in step 5, and then click OK.
- Click OK to create the catalog.
- If you receive a notification indicating that the catalog will remain off-line until the service is restarted, click OK.
- Expand the Indexing Service item.
- Right-click the OWS_Search_Proxy item you created, and click Properties on the menu that appears.
- Click the Tracking tab. In the WWW Server list, select Microsoft SharePoint Search Proxy and then click OK.
- Right-click the Indexing Service item and click Stop.
- When the service has stopped, right-click the Indexing Service item and click Start.
After the Indexing Service restarts, the service will build the new catalog. After a short time searches from the Sharepoint team Web site home page will return results.
The search functionality on the home page of a SharePoint team Web site is hardcoded to look for a catalog called OWS_Search_Proxy.

Community Feedback System
Very often, it takes hours to solve a problem. Very often, you've looked high
and low, and have tried a lot of solutions. When you finally found it, chances
are, it was because someone else helped you. Here's your chance to give back.
Use our community feedback tool to let others know what worked for you and what
didn't.
Please also understand that the community feedback system is not warranted to be
correct, it's simply a system that we've built to let people try and help each
other. If something in a feedback response doesn't make sense to you, or you're
not comfortable making changes that the feedback talks about (like registry
edits), please consult a professional.
