I get an error when I attempt to search my TFS Project Portal

Problem:

When I attempt to use the search feature of my TFS Project Portal I get the following error:

"Your search cannot be completed because this site is not assigned to an indexer. Contact your administrator for more information."

Solution:

Configure the "Microsoft SharePoint Foundation search server".

Explanation:

  • Open SharePoint 2010 Central Administration
  • Click Manage content databases under the Application Management section
  • Make sure the SharePoint site is selected for Web Application and not SharePoint Central Administration
  • Click the WSS_Content database link
  • Find the Search Server section and select a search server
