I have a Windows SharePoint Services 3.0 site that has a search term that seems to crash the search service whenever a query is run using that term.  You can search for it through a few subsites, and you can search for other terms on the top-level site, but whenever you try and look for that specific term on the top level site you get the message:

"Your search cannot be completed because of a service error. Try your search again or contact your administrator for more information."

 If you look at the event logs, it shows that the indexing server has been taken out of the rotation when this happens.  It is restored to the rotation shortly afterwards.

 I know that in MOSS there is a way to determine if a document has caused search problems, but I do not see this option in WSS.  Is there a way to find out why this specific search term is causing problems?

What is the search term that is causing the crash. It might be useful to determine the problem...

 1014.  1013 and 1015 work, however.

 Oh,btw, the error that I get when the search service is taken out of the rotation is 0x80040e04.

Have you double checked the permissions the services are using to handle search?  Typically with this error code it has been a permissions issue.

What permissions are necessary?  There's only one account being used to search, so I didn't think there were any issues with permissions.
