When I try to search or when I click "Search" I get a "Page not Found". Any clue what I might have done wrong here? As far as I know I don't believe I've made any changes that would have impacted the search functionality. :P

I have a somewhat fresh install of Drupal 4.4.1 on an Apache / PHP / MySQL / Linux box.

You can see my issue here: http://www.analogduck.com/drupal/?q=search

Again, thank you for your time. ;)

I just did a fresh install to check if I had mangled something and I get the same problem on the fresh install. (New files / new database)

Is there further setup which needs to be done for the Search button to work?

1) make sure the search module is enabled (?q=admin/system/modules)

2) make sure the appropriate roles (i.e. 'anonymous user') have 'search content' permission (?q=admin/user/permission)

Yup. I hadn't realized that enabling the Search item in the Xtemplates theme has almost nothing to do with enabling Search functionality.

I enabled the module, assigned appropriate permissions and then found myself with a working search engine which produced no useful results. :P

My final problem was that I had lazilly not set up the cron job yet. Once I did that, all was well. =)

Thank you.
