INTRODUCTION
This article describes the methods that you can use to set up content sources for the SearchResults user control that is included in Microsoft Content Management Server (MCMS) 2002 Connector for SharePoint Technologies.



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:

C:\Program Files\MCMS Connector for SharePoint Technologies\WSS\Bin

To use this tool, type a command that is similar to the following command at a command prompt:

SearchSetup.exe -url http:// -user   -password   -crawl   -portalurl

Notes
 * In this command,  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,  is a placeholder for the domain account that has permissions to all content that is stored under the channel path.
 * In this command,  is a placeholder for the domain account password.
 * In this command,  is a placeholder for the value of the crawl switch. Use the   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,  is a placeholder for the URL of the SharePoint Portal Server portal site where the content source is created.

Method 2: Configure the SharePoint Portal Server site settings
To use this method, configure search and indexing in the SharePoint Portal Server site settings. To do this, follow these steps:
 * 1) On the SharePoint Portal Server portal site, click Site Settings.
 * 2) Under Search Settings and Indexed Content, click Configure search and indexing.
 * 3) If you have not switched to advanced mode, click Enable Advanced Search Administration Mode.
 * 4) Under General Content Settings and Indexing Status, click Add content source.
 * 5) In Select a content index, click Non_Portal_Content, click Web page or Web site, and then click Next.
 * 6) In the Address box, type http:// /channels.

Note In this address,  is a placeholder for the URL of your MCMS Web site.
 * 1) In the Description box, type a description for the content source.
 * 2) Under Crawl Configuration, click This site - follow links to all pages on the site.
 * 3) In the Source Group box, type CMSChannels, and then click Finish.
 * 4) Click OK to complete and start the full index update of the content source.

Note Participating in adaptive updates is optional. If you want to participate in adaptive updates, follow the instructions that are contained in the following Microsoft Knowledge Base article:
