The SharePoint Search Dropdown shows only This site as the scope.

Question

Hi All,

I have a team site in which the Search scope dropdown only shows This site and it doesn't show All Sites and People in the dropdown.Any one knows why?

I have not enabled Custom scopes in Search settings for this site because I don't have Search Center created. If I create search center and specify as a custom scope in this site I can see all 3 scopes in the dropdown. I am just trying to understand whether I need to have Search Center created to have all these shared scopes getting displayed in the Search Scopes drop down?

Go to site settings-->site collection admistration-->search scopes-->we can see the display group Edit SearhDropdown display group--> There we can choose all site and people scopes
