Hi! How enabled default searching?

do you see a search bar?

if you see a search bar and the search doesn't work well.

see reasons why:

• or you could try this if your host allows it.
  http://vanillaforums.org/addon/sphinxsearch-plugin

you could change to google search in your theme (see other discussions)

• option

• option
  http://vanillaforums.org/discussion/21676/penetrating-google-into-built-in-search-box

• option
  or you could create a new smarty function

called vendors/SmartyPlugins/function.googlesearchbox.php

change the line below to reflect your forum
$Form->Open(array('action' => Url('http://www.google.com/search?q=site:vanillaforums.org'), 'method' => 'get')).

<?php if (!defined('APPLICATION')) exit();
/*

/**
 * Writes the search box to the page.
 *
 * @param array The parameters passed into the function. This currently takes no parameters.
 * @param Smarty The smarty object rendering the template.
 * @return The url.
 */
function smarty_function_googlesearchbox($Params, &$Smarty) {
   $Form = Gdn::Factory('Form');
   $Form->InputPrefix = '';
   $Result =
      $Form->Open(array('action' => Url('http://www.google.com/search?q=site:vanillaforums.org'), 'method' => 'get')).
      $Form->TextBox('+', array('placeholder' => T('GoogleSearch'))).
      $Form->Button('Go', array('Name' => '')).
      $Form->Close();

   return $Result;
}

then from your tpl theme call it via {googlesearch}

 <div id="Body">
        <div class="Wrapper">
          <div id="Panel">
             <div class="SearchBox">{googlesearchbox}</div>
             {asset name="Panel"}
          </div>
          <div id="Content">
             {asset name="Content"}
          </div>
        </div>
     </div>

I assume you've started with your forum, tried to search and didn't get proper or even no results, right?
That's how MySQL works: http://dev.mysql.com/doc/refman/5.6/en/fulltext-search.html
You have to have some more discussions/comments (the more words the better!) in order to get meaningful results.

No results at all!

the hidden link - if there was ever a discussion should have been split...

also @Bezlepkin
see my post above for various alternate solutions.

This discussion would have been here, even if the discussion back has been split
