Okay, that's what I thought you were talking about. So, to clarify, I 
am not interesting in finding any content outside of the subs-sites; 
they are little units in and of themselves, and content searches take 
place only within the context of a subsite. The problem is (using a 
specific example) that the catalog in the subsite "accumac" is not 
being found. That's the one I want found, and only within the context 
of the accumac site itself. It *is* finding a catalog, though not the 
one I want. The one it is finding is at /++etc++site/default (and not 
/accumac/++etc++site/default).

Thanks for taking the time to understand :-)
