Search 404 Does not work in Drupal 6.2

now it does go to the search page, but now search is performed...http://www.ferox-consultancy.nl/seo and nothing is found. next manually search for 'seo' and you do get results...

Same result.

I just installed on 6.2 site (localhost version) and no result.

What comes up is a pink 'page not found' message and then the url keywords are in the search box. But no search has been performed.

Or maybe more accurately, it produces two types of outputs depending on the URL that is used.

If a URL with no obvious results, I get this:

Search results

* Check if your spelling is correct.
* Remove quotes around phrases to match each word individually: "blue smurf" will match less than blue smurf.
* Consider loosening your query with OR: blue smurf will match less than blue OR smurf.

For URL with many likely hits, I get nothing at all (except the pink box and the URL keywords in the search box).

It also shows the page title as being on the 'Home' page vs. some indication it's an error or search page.

If this gets sorted out, I'd like to try again as this seems like a good idea since i use keyword-rich links - and they break more often than I'd like.

I get the same error. Also, I get "you are not authorised to view this page" for admin/settings/search404 even though I am looged in as the global admin. The module does not show up in any menus in the admin section either, or in the permissions list. I don't know enough about the way Drupal modules work to debug myself - I have had a look at the code but I really don't know what I'm looking for.

I am also having this problem. The search page shows up, with the keyword inside the searchbox, but it doesn't automatically list the search results and I (or my users) have to manually click the 'search' button to do a search. I didn't find any settings to change this behaviour.

Also,
@jonathanh: admin/settings/search404 wasn't showing up for me either. In the file search404.module,
I replaced (~ line 19):
'access' => user_access('administer site configuration')
with
'access arguments' => array('administer site configuration')
and then cleared Drupal's cache (I used the button on the Devel module). After that the link to Search 404's setting appeared.

I found this solution due to a similar problem with another module. Maybe zyxware can confirm that this solved the problem?

Ditto with me on a production site (6.2).

Subscribing...

I just created a separate issue to deal with Admin settings producing a 403 (permission denied) error noted by reply #3 above.
