[SOLVED] {search} doesn't show up

[gummi]

how come I don't get any result, though I add the {search} tag on
my pages? I removed the tag when I first started with the site, but
would now like to add the search function. But now when I add the
tag, nothing at all appears.

{cms_module module='Search'} doesn't do anything either.

Under Modules I've got Search 1.1 installed so it should work, right?

Which ver. CMSMS, have you read the help for search, I haven't looked at it in a while but last time I did it said not to put it in content but in the template above the content part....

Hello,

just 0,02€ : when touching a sample template, copy it before. Rename it to name.sample or so. Then you can work on your templates and always have the original sample at hand.

I'm using version 1.0.2 of CMSMS., if that helps...

I've tried using the {search}-tag in different places, but it just doesn't make any
difference. No error message or anything, just empty where the search should be,
so still looking for a solution. Thank you.

Can you post you current template? You didn't put "display: none" f.e. in the stylesheet, for the DIV the search is placed in?

no, the part of the search in the stylesheet looks like this:

Code: Select all

div#search {
   float: right;
   width: 23em;    /* enough width for the search input box */
   text-align: right;
   padding: 0.6em 0 0.2em 0;
   margin: 0 1em;
}

the site requires a username and password, so I'm afraid I can't show you the template...

Have you gone to Extensions » Search and told it to Reindex All Content?...

Have you gone to Extensions » Search and told it to Reindex All Content?...

"Search" doesn't even show in my admin menu under "Extensions", except if I'm on the "Extensions > Modules"
page! From that page it's at the bottom of the list but from anywhere else it's just not there. When it's there and
I click it, I just get an empty page...

Can I somehow re-install the Search-module, and how?

[Dr.CSS]

Have you tried uninstalling it from Extensions > Modules then reinstalling, you can also uninstall then FTP to site and delete the folder then FTP upload the folder from your last CMSMS unzipped/untarred folder and then reinstall...

re-installing Search under Extensions > Modules did the trick... easy enough Thank you for the help!
