hi i have developed site in drupal..
and i am facing a problem that is when i am trying to search something with the help of search box always the same error formed

Your search yielded no 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.

please help me to solve this problem. so that search box can search among all content

Thanks & Regards

try to go to "?q=admin/settings/search" and check what the Indexing status is.
It should be 100% so if its 0% then you need to run the cron job.

The search engine maintains an index of words found in your site's content. To build and maintain this index, a correctly configured cron maintenance task is required. Indexing behavior can be adjusted using the settings below.

Yea you'll need to run the cron every time new data have been added and needs to be indexed.
If your host doesn't provide automated cron job you should be able to find some services for that on google.
Automated cron jobs is to be set to connect to http://yoursite/cron.php and not the link you'll find in the admin for Manuel cron.
A solution for the automated cron could be www.pingdom.com but this is not a free service :S
But iam sure there should be some free services out there who can handle this task and load cron.php every 5 min or so.

You might consider using the free service provided by http://www.drupalcron.org/

Have you run http://yoursite/cron.php? This can be run manually or automated with a crontab.

If you don't have access to add a cron task on your server, try using the module "poormanscron" at http://drupal.org/project/poormanscron. This means that everytime a user accesses a page, the site checks (after the page has been sent), to see when cron was last run. If it was more than 1 hour ago, cron will be run automatically for you.

just for completeness-- the free version of acquia drupal will also run cron.
