SPS 2003 Search issue .... please HELP!!!!

[crymedry]

We just started using SPS 2003, i am trying to get the search configured correctly. i have created a directory tree through sps and put random files at various places to test the search capabilities.
I can get results from sites within the portal, but if i create any team sites (which use sp services) i can only find results if i am already in that team site.

I have already updated the index and everything else i can find to update.

How can i configure it so that someone can be on the main portal page, search for something, and it find results throughout the entire site, including all team sites and document workspaces.

Have you ever tried adding that into the Portal Content sources?

Hello,

When I did the same thing as you I found out that I only got search results from WSS sites if I was a memeber on those sites (atleast with reader rights).
But I guess since you have created the WSS (Team sites) you are a memeber of those?

Regards,
Thomas
