Re: Site search not working
Update: The contact form is also not working. I'm wondering if anything could be wrong with the data being submitted by the forms.
Re: Site search not working
Your search issue:
This could be a couple of things. The first thing to check is to make sure you have "enable searching" on.
Go to settings on the left and make sure "enable searching" is checked on (This is usually done by default). Maybe you turned this off because it is a development website?
Re: Site search not working
Yes, you're right, I didn't have the search enabled on the system > settings page. I must have accidentally turned it off...
