You must enable search in order to make it available to users on your site. To enable search for Microsoft SQL Server 2000, you must install the full-text searching feature for SQL Server 2000 and then enable search in Microsoft Windows SharePoint Services. If you want to enable Microsoft Office SharePoint Portal Server 2003 searching, you must be sure that SharePoint Portal Server is available, and then configure Windows SharePoint Services to be included in the index by the portal site.

  2. On the setup screen, click SQL Server 2000 Components, and then click Install Database Server.

    The Microsoft SQL Server 2000 Installation Wizard opens.

  3. On the Welcome screen, click Next.
  4. On the Computer Name screen, select the computer type, and then click Next.
  5. On the Installation Selection panel, select Upgrade, remove, or add components to an existing instance of SQL Server, and then click Next.
