How to enable Searc Service in Office Project server 2007

[waqas sarwar]

Hi,

I am using the Office Project server 2007 with WSS 3.0. I am wondering how
to enable the search service in the Project server.i want to run search
services on my project web access sites.
Basically i start the Windows Sharepoint Search Services. after that i
assigned an indexer to the every web appliation which i have in the system.
But when i try to search some key words its through the following errors.
1) "No results matching your search were found."
2) The site http://jdcwaqas:31174/opps/ could not be found in the Web
application SPWebApplication Name=SharePoint 31174 Parent=SPWebService.

I am also wondering how can i install the Ifilter for the PDF files. I
install the Ifilter in the MOSS 2007 in my last project but i am wondering if
is their any way to perform those steps. and i also i am looking for
scheduling of indexing and crawling rules..

Thanks
Waqas

Search in WSS has a scope of a Site Collection. Search results will differ
depending on which page you search from (ie will only search from site in
browser and any child sites).

If your PWA url is http://server/PWA and WSS sites are located at
http://server/pwa/siten then you need to search from http://server/pwa in
order to search all subsites. If you search from http://server/pwa/site1
then results will only be returned for that site.

If you don't have a site collection, then I believe you will only be able to
search within a single site.

See the site below for instructions on how to setup the pdf ifilter

Hi Paul,

Basically i am using Project server 2007, sow hen i open the SSP it show me
the page on which, i can create the Project Web Acces site only. no other
option available. Like search setting and other option as which we can see on
MOSS or WSS 3.0. I think i install the project server 2007 and did not
install the wss3.0 seprately, is it problem? like if i use the split stream
option then all these option available?

Thanks

in WSS search is not exposed throught the SSP.

By installing Project Server, you've also installed WSS, there is no
requirement to install it separately.

go SSP options.
if their are other then please tell me.

Thanks
