On my homepage, after giving a search command in the general search box, the page says there is no indexing function applyed. I have looked through the site settings and central administration but cant find anything related. Take note this is on sharepoint foundation, not sure if that makes a difference or not. Thanks

Hello

I've been having issues with the people search in that it doesn't return any results and the scope is 0.

I deleted the scope and recreated it adding the rule contentclass = urn:content-class:SPSPeople with behaviour : require but now when i search for people it seems to search everything not just people profiles. Please can someone tell me what I have done wrong when I recreated the scope? The scope still cant crawl the profiles but I'd like to at least get back to where i was before!!

Thanks
Sarah

I have a find form, when i do a keyword search it is taking more than 30 seconds, exactly after 30 seconds my front end aspx form showing a message saying alert execsp timed out.

 

Is there a way to increase the timeout limit, it seems like it is defaulted to 30 seconds.

 

Thank you very much for the helpful info.

I noticed that the search bar in SharePoint defaults to "All Sites".  I have a dropdown arrow where I can change it to "This Site" which is relative to whatever site I am on.  How can I configure the search to default to "This Site" instead of "All Sites"?

Does anyone know you can search records in your databases and show them in tables? I want to put them later in "one-part" music players.
