MORE INFORMATION

When you use the SearchResults user control that is included in MCMS 2002 Connector for SharePoint Technologies to perform a search against a Microsoft SharePoint Portal Server 2001 portal site, you must first set up content sources on the SharePoint Portal Server portal site. To set up content sources with which the SearchResults user control can communicate, use one of the following methods.

Method 1: Use the SearchSetup.exe tool

To use this method, use the SearchSetup.exe tool that is included in MSMC 2002 Connector for SharePoint Technologies. By default, the SearchSetup.exe tool is located in the following folder:To use this tool, type a command that is similar to the following command at a command prompt:Notes

• In this command, MCMS Server URL is a placeholder for the URL of the MCMS channel and is where the SharePoint Portal Server index starts crawling. You cannot use localhost to reference the local Web server in both the url switch and the portalurl switch. You can include port numbers for both switches if your MCMS Web site or the SharePoint Portal Server portal site is not installed on the default Web site in Microsoft Internet Information Services (IIS).
• In this command, Crawl Account is a placeholder for the domain account that has permissions to all content that is stored under the channel path.
• In this command, User Password is a placeholder for the domain account password.
• In this command, 0 or 1 is a placeholder for the value of the crawl switch. Use the 0 or 1 crawl switch to have SharePoint Portal Server start full indexing of the content source immediately. If the value is 1, the crawl starts immediately. If the value is 0, the crawl does not occur.
• In this command, SharePoint Portal Server Portal Site URL is a placeholder for the URL of the SharePoint Portal Server portal site where the content source is created.
