We've hosted our portal in MOSS 2007 but the search feature won't work. Is there anything I'm missing? Thanks! Hi Gavin,

However, when I clicked on the “Advanced” link on the page, it takes me to a page “Advanced.aspx” that does not exist on the SharePoint server, thus I get a 404 error. Any ideas what I’m doing wrong or what else I need to do? Hi Gavin,

I did read that it had a more limited search functionality compared with MOSS. Hi Peter,

It looks great, but I can not find the setting in WSS 3.0. Is it working only with MOSS2007? Hi Gavin!

Just trying to understand your sharepoint setup. Is 'sharepoint' a subsite, site collection or managed path? If you are creating a site collection at ./clientname/ then try using the Collaboration portal on publishing tab. It includes a 'search centre with tabs' subsite. You also add the 'search centre with tabs' later on as a subsite. My structure is a little different. I have create the root site collection using the 'collaboration portal' site template. Then I have a managed path called 'projects'. I then create a site collection based on the default 'team site' template for each project. Hope this helps. Hi Rebecca,

Hmm that’s what I get for being so hasty…it works, but my Sharepoint site is set up as below: http://servername/sharepoint/clientname, as opposed to just plain http://servername

How do I set up an Advanced search page that can be access as follows:
http://servername/sharepoint
/clientname/SearchCenter/Pages

Sorry if it’s a bit of a n00b question.. I’m still trying to straighten out all of the kinks I discover whilst tweaking!
