Well if everything is in there, then there would be no 3rd party vendors, no 
new versions and no developers.. so not a bad thing ☺

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

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.

Subject: Subsite search results from list in another subsite

Hi all,

I have a 2010 site collection containing several sub-sites. One of these sites 
(Site A) has links to a number of documents stored in a list on another subsite 
(Site B).

Our search box is part of the master page for the site collection and the 
default search for Site A is "This site: Site A". When searching, results are 
not returned from the list in Site B - as you would expect.

I've experimented with custom scopes and have set one up that indexes both Site 
A and the documents, however I can't work out how to add that scope to the drop 
down scope list - and to only do it for Site A not the whole collection.

Is there a way to achieve the outcome I want?

Cheers,

Iain
