Sharepoint Search Not Working

Recently we had a client that didn't have their Sharepoint (Companyweb) Search working correctly on SBS 2003. The Search item was there and everything seemed to look good but the Full Text Search component in SQL under the covers wasn't working properly. After doing some work looking into it I turned to our friend Google Groups.

It ended up being the Microsoft Search service. Check out KB 827449 for a manual reinstall of the Search service. This is what we used to get the client up and running.
