A few items about searching with WSS (not Portal) that are worth remembering:

  • SQL Server is required. WMSDE does not support search.
  • To search non-office file types, an IFilter must be installed on the SQL Server machine.
    • Acrobat IFilter: http://www.adobe.com/support/downloads/detail.jsp?ftpID=1276
    • If you already have Acrobat files in the system, you need to rebuild the full-text index. In SQL Enterprise Manager, expand the content database. In the Full-Text Catalogs node, right-click on the catalog (ix_databasename) and choose Start Full Population. 
    • Configuring WSS to display Acrobat (and other) icons in search result: KB 832809
