I have a search set up on my Intranet. I have not allowed certain libraries and lists to be crawled (this helps eliminate the need for so many crawl rules). However...I do need some crawl rules in place, which I added. I ran the Full Crawl and the "excluded" items from the crawl rules still showed up.
I believe this is because my administration account has full control, but I don't know how to fix it.
I went in to add another account to the service (Manage Service Applications under Central Admin - Administration tab) and the only option it gives me to select is "full control".
Under the main site accounts (Manage Web Application link on Central Admin) the user I added says full read.
Now then On the main Search Service Page there is an account called "Default Content Access Account". I changed that to be the account that is Full Read from the administration group of the manage web application page. I then cleared the indexing and ran the crawl fresh. The crawl rules are still ignored. Does anyone have any thoughts on this? I am very perplexed.
Well, I never was able to fully solve the issue. I did go into each list and library and under advanced settings selected 'No' for the search being able to crawl it. Though this solution will only go so far.
I still have the issues in my document libraries of the /Form/* content showing up in a search (Which only show up if you search for an item that also appears on the MasterPage).
Anyway, I can live with this half fixed as it is.

I am having site level search in my share point site,its not working, I have done full crawl of database still its not working.Even I had configured search services again.Still its not working,whereas item level search is working.
You have to perform following steps.
Make sure the search account has “full read” permissions in the web
applications
Entered my content sources and verified they are being crawled
Checked the crawling error log and there are no “Top Level Errors”
The search managed account has “SPSearchDBAdmin” rights in all 4 of
the search databases
I have performed an “index Reset” and performed a full crawl
I have not disabled loop back check cause, according to my research
this should not be done in production servers
I'm working on a sharepoint project.
After I adding the search web part. The search function behaves weird.
I have crawled the content source and configured the permission.
The following search bar, no matter what I search, I got nothing
But the advanced search web part can work properly.
The thing is, in the result page of the advanced search web part, if I choose to see the result of my sharepoint website instead of "Any Site", I got nothing. I am sure that the result of "Any Site" is from my sharepoint site.
Any ideas will be appreciated.

You need to check your search log to make sure content is being crawled correctly. It looks like you do not have any results for your a particular site. modify your search webpart to show the scopes drop down an experiment to find out which scopes are not responding correctly and debug from there.
You need to ask this question on serverfault.com or sharepoint.stackexchange.com as this site trys to deal with programming specific errors only.
It sounds like you might be crawling a non default zone. Maybe you're crawling an intranet or extranet zone. Make sure you crawl the default zone and that the default zone has NTLM authentication enabled and that the crawler has access to the web application via full read policy.
If this is SharePoint 2010 Foundation and you have named your documents_with_underscores, the underscores are not word breakers and as a result no matter what you search for "Documents" "with" or "underscores", in that case, would be successful. The word "with" would be removed by the content processor (search query and site settings service) in 2010 and the other two words would not be read as separate words because 2010 foundation would treat documents_with_underscores as one word. If you searched for "documents_with_underscores" you would find it.
I followed the directions in this *link and the while the "all sites" search is working, the "people" search is not working. Do I need to configure a content source (nothing seems to make sense: sharepoint sites, web sites, file shares, exchange public folders, line of business data, custom repository)? Under the search central admin > service application > View Scopes, the "people" section items column indicate 0 but the "all sites" items column indicate 243.

Is getting people search really this hard out of the box? I didn't configure the installation, maybe there is a piece missing?
Check your content source. The default content source typically includes all SharePoint sites and people. If you created your search app before your user profile app, then you may not have that in the content source. You should see an address starting with sps3://.
Make sure you have users to crawl in your profile db.
Try doing a full crawl on the source that contains people.
Make sure you user profile service import is running fine, check the MSDN doc: Configure profile synchronization (SharePoint Server 2010) for step to step guidance.
I have installed and configured SharePoint 2010 to run on the same box as the SQL Server its running from in Windows Server 2008 R2. Everything is working fine except the search. I have uploaded several documents and tagged several items (documents, tasks, announcements etc), however whenever I search the site using the defaul search, i get nothing returned no matter what i search on, I simply get "We did not find any results for [search term]". I know there is setup needed if you wish to use "FAST search", but do I have to do anything to get the standard default search to work?
Found the answer on SharePoint.SE:
After installing the system you need to configure your indexing job.
Navigate to CA > Service Applications > Search.
You will see a link to your Content Sources. If you edit that it will give you the opportunity to setup a schedule for both Full and Incremental indexing.
You can kick off a full crawl, once completed you will have results if everything is configured correctly.
It does work for people search too . if you edit this content source you will see sps protocol which is for user profiles .
To make people search to work, in Central Administration > Manage Service Applications, make sure to provide a valid domain\user account as administrator in User Profile Service Application.
To add on to Chensformers answers, the account has to have "Retrieve People Data for Search Crawlers" enabled. They have to have it in the Administrators button, even if the Permissions is set to Full Control! Quite misleading.
Platform: MOSS 2007 on server 2008
Sharepoint is working etc...
Problem: When you search for something, it doesn't find anything, no errors.
Authentication and permissions look fine. Search service is up and running.
What could be the problem? Any checkpoints I might have missed, any bad configurations I should check, etc...?
You should start with checking the crawl log files. That will probably give some valuable information.
Also double check that the SSP is set up correctly, with a valid content source setup, valid starting addresses, schedule etc.
Make sure that no crawl rules prohibit any searches.
And lastly, no 3rd party/custom security trimmers installed that prohibit results to be shown.
Doesn't work is not a lot of use is it.
My first guess is: Have you configured the search correctly (crawl schedules, content sources etc.)
To setup search (crawl etc.) go to the Central Admin site and then to your Shared Service Provider. in the SSP Select Seearch Adminstration. in the menu on the left you can find the link "Content sources". In the following page you can select the Content Source (something like "SharePoint sites" (out of the box). selct edit in the context menu and define your crawl schedule. Then select the "start a full crawl" checkbox.
You should make sure that you've indexed your site.
