You cannot search for content, or you may receive unexpected results when you search for content in the portal site in SharePoint Server 2007 or in SharePoint Portal Server 2003
You may find that Microsoft Office SharePoint Server
2007 and Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2003 do not index content correctly. As a
result, users either cannot search for SPS content or may receive unexpected
results when they try to search for content in the portal site. No error or
warning messages are logged to the application event log or to the SharePoint
Portal Server log files.
This problem may occur if the URL of the portal site in the
Portal Web Address box of the
Configure Connection to
Portal Site page is changed from "" (without the quotation marks) to
a different URL. In this situation, SharePoint
content is not indexed (but indexes Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services content) and does
not display or log an error or warning message to provide information about the
issue or how to troubleshoot the issue.
To work around this problem, make sure that the URL of the
portal site is specified correctly in the
Portal Web Address
box of the
Configure Connection to Portal Site page. To do so,
follow these steps:
- In your Web browser, type the following URL in the
Address box, where ServerName is
the name of the server, and then press ENTER:
http://ServerName/_layouts/1033/portal.aspx
- On the Configure Connection to Portal Site
page in SPS 2003, or on the Portal Site Connection page in SharePoint Server 2007, specify the correct URL of the portal site in the Portal Web
Address box.--for example, type "" (without the quotation
marks).
- In the Portal Name box, specify a friendly
name for the portal site, and then click OK.
Microsoft has confirmed that this is a problem in the Microsoft products that are listed in the "Applies to" section.

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.
