How can i know if a given SPWeb is a SearchCenter site programmatically

Question

I have a SPWeb object and I want to know whether or not this is a SearchCenter site. How can I know it programmatically. Is there some setting to check or a guid to match etc?

Answer 1

A SearchCenter is created from a special site template that you can identify from the WebTemplate property on the SPWeb object. It will carry the value 'SRCHCEN'.

Answer 2

I am not sure, but the Feature ID GUID shown here might be a global one.
