    I'm having this issue as well with an installation of WSS 2.0 / SQL2000

    Seems from this related post that it's a possible permissions issue: http://forums.microsoft.com/MSDN/ShowPost.aspx PostID=350215&SiteID=1

    However this should also be checked....

    On the SQL server:

    Check that SQL FTS is installed & rebuild the index.

    1. start SQL Enterprise Manager on your SQL Server machine
    2. navigate to the WSS database, usually named STS_servername_number.
    3. Select the tab “Full-text Catalogs”
    4. see the Catalog ix_STS_servername_number on the right hand site and
    double click it
    5. “Item Count” and “Catalog size” may possibly be 0 indicating that nothing has been indexed
    6. Close that window and right click the tab “Full-text Catalogs”
    7. Click “Rebuild all Catalogs” in the context menu, answer Yes for the
    security question

    SQL will now build a full text catalog and will include new items and sites.
