In your server farm deployment of Microsoft Office
SharePoint Portal Server 2003, you may find that it takes a longer time than
expected for SharePoint Portal Server 2003 to crawl content in the portal site,
including content in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services Web sites that are
contained in the portal site.
This problem occurs because the gatherer component of
SharePoint Portal Server 2003 filters URLs that do not contain file name
extensions by using a single-threaded filter pool. For example, URLs that
represent documents that are attached to list items in a document library do
not contain the file name extension of the document. Performance of crawls
decreases when the gatherer component associates URLs with a single-threaded
filter.
This problem was first fixed in a hotfix that is now contained in a service pack. If you installed the latest SharePoint Portal Server 2003 service pack, you do not have to install the hotfix.
