Thanks Chris, Based on your feedback, I ended up going with adding the scope to the collection (it's not really a problem if it appears on all the other sites), then added some jQuery within the sub-site to a) remove the "This site: Site A" option from the drop down and b) select the custom scope item so it is the default for Site A.
<rant>I really wonder about SharePoint sometimes, what appears on the surface to be a simple thing to do always ends up needing hours of customisation and invariably a bit of jQuery to do what ought to have been an out of the box feature. E.g. yesterday I spent most of the day adapting prettyPhoto to displaying a slideshow of images in a Picture Gallery because Microsoft (in their wisdom?) decided that the out of the box slide show didn't need to traverse sub-folders in the gallery!</rant> Cheers, Iain On 30 May 2012 13:55, Chris Grist <chris.gr...@loftusit.com.au> wrote: > Without looking at it, adding scopes to the drop down is site collection > wide, you could configure your own search box that points at that specific > scope though just on that site.**** > > ** ** > > *From:* ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com [mailto:ozmoss-boun...@ozmoss.com] *On > Behalf Of *Iain Carlin > *Sent:* Wednesday, 30 May 2012 1:50 PM > *To:* ozMOSS > *Subject:* Subsite search results from list in another subsite**** > > ** ** > > Hi all, > > I have a 2010 site collection containing several sub-sites.
