Enable Advances Administration for advanced search

[wciccadmin]

Hello,

I have been looking over some documentation on how to set up sharepoint to index PDF files using adobe's ifilter in Sharepoint Portal Services 2003.

here is the link on microsoft support

http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;832809

I am running in to a problem with configuring sharepoint.

Step 8 of the document says to to click Site Settings, and click "Configure search and Indexing" under "Search Settings and Indexed Content"


The problem, I do not have these options when I enter site settings. I read that I need to enable Advanced Administration options but I cannot find where to do this within the sharepoint web or in Sharepoint central admin on the IIS server.

Can someone tell me where I need to look? I am having troubles finding an answer on the net.

Thanks

Hi,

You find it within the SharePoint web interface (i.e not in the Central Administration). When you click Site Settings and then Configure Search and Indexing there should be an link there saying something to switch to Advanced mode.

That is the problem... I do not have a "configure Search and Indexing" section when I enter site settings.

This is the only information on my site settings page...

----------------------------------------

Administration

Manage users
Manage sites and workspaces
Configure Site and Workspace Creation
Go to Site Administration

Customization

Apply theme to site
Modify site content
Customize home page


Manage My Information

Update my information
My alerts on this site
View information about site users

---------------------------------------


That is all that is there. I see nothing related to search and indexing.

Hi,

The look of what I see is that you are on a Windows SharePoint Services (WSS) site, and not in the SharePoint Portal Server. It is only on the SharePoint Portal server you have an advanced search and indexing. For WSS you only have a full-text index which resides in the SQL database.

Are you using SharePoint Portal Server or only Windows SharePoint Services?

Cheers,

Thanks for the quick reply.

Yes we are using sharepoint services. That answers the problem. I thought it was available in services as well.

thanks again.
