WSS Search
WSS Search is a little peculiar in its most basic form. For example, you may try a search and get an error that says:
Your search cannot be completed because this site is not assigned to an indexer. Contact your administrator for more information.
To start it, you have to visit your content database in Central Admin Application Management. In the SharePoint Web Application Management section, click on Content Databases. This should expose your content database for the farm.
Click on the database, and in there, you get to select a search server and then click OK.
