Search function not working at all

Hello

I use a Drupal installation 4.6.3 with numerous modules installed and the site is still under testing. Drupal has been installed using Fantastico.

The Search function is not working AT ALL: i.e. for content and for members.

I remember reading somewhere on the forums that fantastico installs give search related issues, but couldn't find it again. Is this true?

Also, how do I fix this now? The site has been customised to some degree now (to my capabilities, which are few), and therefore a re-install using the more traditional method would be near-impossible.

Is there some kind of bugfix available? How do I make the Search function work?

Thanks
Ninad

Lets make a checklist:

---------------------------------------------------------

Enable 'Search' module in ?q=admin/module
See ?q=admin/settings/search to see how many items are left to index.
1. If there are some items to index THEN run 'cron.php' from your browser like http://www.server.com/cron.php
Check ?q=admin/settings/search again to see the status of search module.

-------------------------------------------------
If this list does not solve your problem then reply with some more details about your installation.

Hey it worked!

Thanks a million. Your checklist was super-effective.

I have now employed the poormanscorn module to do the work for me now.
