Removing contextual: This sites cope from simple search box

Microsoft Office SharePoint Server 2007 provides two categories of search scopes: Custom and Contextual.

*
Custom scopes:
o
“All Sites”
o
“People”
o
The custom search scopes created via the search or site admin pages
*
Contextual scopes:
o
“This Site”
o
“This List”
Mark has posted a blog explain these 2 types.

If you want to remove the “This site” contextual scope all together, then this cannot be done using standard user interface. You need to create a new feature based on one of the existing ones. The sample below replaces the collaboration portal search box with a delegate without the “This site” contextual scopes.

1.
Make a copy the existing feature OSearchEnhancedFeature (MOSS Enterprise ed.)
2.
Change the sequence number to fit below 25, e.g.

3. Add the DropDownMode property

ShowDD_NoContextual

All you need to do now is to package the feature in solution and deploy it. You can do it manually, or use something like the WSPBuilder
