SharePoint Search not indexing People?
If you're having problems with MOSS 2007 Search indexing the user profiles which you have imported from AD or some other source, check the identity of the Windows SharePoint Services Timer service. I bet it's set to Network Service. That's not going to work. Instead, set it to Local System (like (Read More...)
