The "Search Center with Tabs" template is not available when you create a source variation label in SharePoint Server 2007

SYMPTOMS

When you create a source variation label in Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007, the "Search Center with Tabs" template is not available as a feature that you can use in the source.

This problem occurs when you use SharePoint Server 2007 to support multilingual Web sites.

CAUSE

This problem occurs because of a missing attribute in the Webtemp*.xml file that defines the Web site.

Note In the name of the Webtemp*.xml file, the asterisk (*) is a placeholder for a suffix that may be a part of the file name. For example, if you install Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server, the file is named the Webtempsps.xml file. Typically, the Webtemp*.xml file is located in the following folder:
C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\12\TEMPLATE\1033\XML

RESOLUTION

To resolve this problem, add the attribute in the Webtemp*.xml file that defines the Web site. To do this, follow these steps:
  1. In Notepad, open the Webtemp*.xml file that defines the Web site.
  2. In the body of the file, add the following attribute:
    FilterCategories="PublishingSiteTemplate"
  3. Save the file, and then exit Notepad.

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.
