MOSS 2007: People Search & All Sites Scopes Missing

I ran into a situation where after creating a new web application, site collection, and configuring the crawler “People Search” and “All Sites” was missing from the search scope. They existed in the top-level site collection search scopes but the only option available was “This Site:Intranet”.

Solution:

Rename the default “Search Dropdown” to something else, and create a new search display group name “Search Dropdown” (assuming your using english language packs). Make sure you specify to include People and All Sites in the scope group, and set your default scope.

Once you have recreated the scope, head into search settings and specify a custom scope page (using the default _layouts/ossearchresults.aspx works fine).
