I just downloaded and installed the latest version as of August 1, however the search doesnt seem to be picking up any pages, but not just that I was wondering if it is at all possible to make your own search? i have a custom search box in the design as well as a search box i wantd to use that coding, is it possible? Please let me know.

It worked fine for me, what were you searching for?...
And yes you can use it where your search bar is, if you know any thing about CSS/html...

Yeah I plugged in the right codes, but I think the problem is its not making a new page for the results.

Did you tell it to go to a new page for results?...
Read the Help for search, go thru the search admin, look at every option in every tab, you will find where you tell it to use a different page for results...

I'm also experienceing problems with the Search module since I updated with the latest versions. I noticed it when I upgraded to 1.4 and it's still here now that I've updated to 1.4.1
The Search module have always worked fine, but now it only searches the News module. If the particular word is not found within the News currently active no results are returned. I've read numerous threads on this but haven't found the solution (or have missed it). Any help appreciated.

Have you tried reindexing all your pages?...

Yes, I have too re-indexed the pages several times.
Sorry about not including that in my original post.

Seems to work fine for me...

EDIT: Are you using just {search}, or some other parameters in the tag?

I'm using {search searchtext=""} (which has always worked before) but have also tried just {search} and {search searchtext ="" modules=""}, none of them work.

Have you made a new template for search at any point in time, have you gone to search admin and told it to restore default search template?...

Yes, I made a new template earlier, but that one disappeared when I installed 1.4. And I have restored both the Search and Restore templates to default with no result.
But I'm wondering about this line:
Code: Select all
{*
You can also instantiate custom behaviour on a module by module basis by looking at
the $entry->module and $entry->modulerecord fields in $entry
ie: {if $entry->module == 'News'}{News action='detail' article_id=$entry->modulerecord detailpage='News'}
*}
This says I can tell the Search module to do what it's doing now and that I don't want it to. This should mean I could alter this somewhere, right? But where is this code that it's telling me about?

Anyone have any ideas on how to correct this?

That code is in the default (search) result template.
