Oooooh….I know what’s behind that ms paint spray……did you eventually figure out the search?…I know you didn’t like it around 5pm…but I wasn’t paying much attention…

Yes, it works now.

I have created an intranet site and extended it to internet. The intranet site is in the Default zone. The search crawler crawls everything under the intranet site but it gives Access denied for the internet zone.

My internet zone is using FBA and intranet is using Windows Authentication.

How do I configure search on my internet site?

Ensure that the search index user has access to everything and that the given end user has access to the content that they search for.

Does search work on the intranet?

Thank you so much for this article.
There are many solutions for 0×80041205 error but none of them solved my problem.
This one not only solved my problem but also helped me to understand purpose of the Alternate Access Mappings better.

Best wishes.

I tried the steps mentioned above, but it broke my secured site.

What I did however do to get it to work was to go to “Edit Public Zone URLs” and added a URL with the server name as the Extranet option, e.g. http://servername. I left my secured FQDN/URL in the Default option.

The crawler started to index the site again. I just had to add a “Server name mappings” entry on the “Configure Search Settings” page to translate the servername to my FQDN/URL.

I must put a word in here aswell.
I havn’t yet tried this solution to my problem but i know it will now work, i allready have another site using the same configuration (rights included) and mappings are also the same (not poiting to same url;) )
It works on one and not the other, totally unlogic.
What i get is a 2436 followed by a 2424 when i try to index, it says it cannot match my url, i hope there is something very basic that i forgot becouse i am getting rather sick and tired of having to turn a newly setup site into peices becouse of this.

THANK YOU!!! You have saved my life! I have been trying to figure out why in the world my search ability was not working in our sharepoint site. I was about ready to put a bullet in my head… (or maybe a paintball).

Your method of extending the web site and setting the non-secure version to default did it. We have a SSL protected site since we open this to the outside and have external companies logging in to upload and download files.
