Introduced as part of the Winter 2005 release, WSS Search™ (WSS) performs a full-text search of a WSS site and a specified number of levels of its sub-sites (including attachments) and then displays the search results based upon a user’s entry.
This web part allows the administrator to specify a starting URL and the number of site levels to include in the search. Users can search within lists, libraries, or both. Because the starting URL can be defined, a WSS Search web part that is placed on one site can search for results within another.
NOTE: If you are interested in viewing the help for this component running on the Workplace Suite Winter 2007 for SharePoint 2007, click here. As of the Winter 2007 release, this component was renamed to “Cross Site Search.”
