- Check that the sites are crawled. In "Site Settings" > "Manage crawls of Site Directory" make sure the sites you want are approved. didnt help me - they were all approved.
- Make sure you are running SPS SP2. Some search issues are resolved after installing SP2. To determine you are running SP2, go to the "control panel" > "add\remove programs" and check the "about" of SPS. the version should be 11.0.8126.0 (for the english version anyway). this improved matters for me - the portal index suddenly worked better, but still empty non_portal_contents
- Do a "Hard Reset" of the index Ok - last resort: 3.1. First stop the "Microsoft SharePointPS Search" service. 3.2. Now, go to where you installed sharepoint (or if you set the indexes to be in a different location) for example - "C:\Program Files\SharePoint Portal Server\DATA\01b905a4-6f4b-4f3b-bab9-0702d5d86968" and you should see there the "Non_Portal_Content" folder. 3.3. Rename the "Non_Portal_Content" folder to "Non_Portal_Content_Old". 3.4. Start the "Microsoft SharePointPS Search" service again. 3.5 Go to the search administration screen and make sure the index is starting a crawl
Thats it! the last thing solved my problem. the "stuck" index was fully crawled and search works as expected.
Hopes this helps anyone...if not - dont blame me!

Thank you!!!!
I've been struggling with the same issue for two days! Renaming the non_portal_content folder made the trick! Unbelievable!

Renaming the folder fixed it for me too
