So we have noticed that in a subsite, the search available at the top of the page only searches from the users current location down and does not allow you to select scopes. I found in another forum the
following:
The portal and WSS search web parts are different beasts. When you're searching in WSS you're going against the full text index of the site itself - when you're in SPS 2003 you're searching against the crawled index. If you want to use the index service in a WSS site, you're going to have to go into the template (and any sites you have
created) and replace the default WSS search web part with the SPS search web part.
So when our designer tried to pull the search code from one of the area pages to the site pages it comes back with "could not instantiate webpart". Is this the right method to go about this and if so how do we get past this error?
Thanks!
