We have three sites running on a single drupal installation and everything seems to function as we had designed. The only problem so far is with the search tool: the search form at the main site is functioning properly, while for the other two sites does not seem to be working. Whatever keywords you enter and search it shows no results, although there definitely are pages with those keywords.

Also, for the two other sites the search box is appearing only for the admin user, but not for the anonymous users. Could anyone help us understand if we are missing something simple that should be enabled or that's likely a problem with multi - site installation.

Thank you in advance.

check your search settings and make sure your are indexing all your sites. admin/settings/search
This means that cron must be running on all three sites.

also check the permissions and make sure you give search content permissions to the correct user groups.

good luck

Thanks for your reply. I will check the search settings to make sure all the three sites are being indexed.

Thanks a lot for your help. Indexing or better to say, not indexing was the reason for the search tools not being able to search the other two sites. Once I ran the cron job, the tools started working.
