If you would like to be able to search your TFS Project Portal you must enable a Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Search Service.  This process is for SharePoint 2010 that is installed by TFS during the configuration.

• Open a command prompt and change to the following directory:
  • C:\Program Files\Common Files\Microsoft Shared\Web Server Extensions\14\BIN
• Run the following command:
  • psconfig.exe -cmd services –install
  • NOTE: This command will take down our TFS while it runs.
• Open SharePoint 2010 Central Administration
• Click Manage services on server under the System Settings section
• Click the Start link next to SharePoint Foundation Search
• You will be sent to the Configure Microsoft SharePoint Foundation Search Service Settings on server [serverName]
• Simply scroll down and click the Start button
