Have you tried using different Content Sources for the search and each one only having one scope? Do you want to give them the option of choosing more than one scope?

Because the Advanced Search web part allows them to pick multiple scopes they tend to select them all, just to be safe, even though one of them is called "All Sites"! In doing so, they receive the error: "Your search cannot be completed because of a service error. Try your search again or contact your administrator for more information." I know why this is happening [http://social.technet.microsoft.com/Forums/en-US/sharepointsearch/threa d/fb78decc-aeb5-4c04-bb75-473c25f8c11d/] but am not sure of the best approach to rectify it. I'd originally added some JavaScript to the page via a CEWP to uncheck the selected scope when another selection was made but this wasn't ideal. Aside from educating end users, are there any other suggestions?
