Site Search not working...

One of my client have a very funny problem. They have deployed MOSS in a POC environment, and had their search settings set properly. Searching for information using the default content scope, "all sites", yeilds expected results, hence crawling and searching is working fine.

I guess some of you might have noticed that when you are at a site, you will see a new search scope, "This Site". When you are at a list, you will see additional scope, "This List". These two scope appears by itself, and there seems to have no place to to set this, or to debug this... How to get this fix?

Then my colleage who set this up told me that because of the IT policy, they have to extend the site to have a new URL. Along the way, the old URL has been render dead, and that causes the site search to fail. Changing the new URL to be in the default zone solved the problem.

Where do I find the setting for the "default zone" that you are referring to? Thanks for any additional info!

In MOSS central administration under Operations/Global Configuration/Alternate Access Mappings. http://yourserver/_admin/AlternateUrlCollections.aspx.
