I can’t find a search box activation option or short code for a search box. I have activated my theme’s own search function and it doesn’t pick up on words from within the forums pages. Do you have a forum search option?

Thank you for your time.

Take care,
Kari

Disregard. The bbpress search widget is searching the forums so I disabled the normal search bar. This topic can be closed. Thank you!!

I am trying the bbPress widgets “search” and “extended search”. Neither returns adequate results when entering a search term. Usually the results are blank (when I have seen the searched for text on my site).

Sometimes when re-entering the query on the blank search results page, I get a “500 Internal Server Error” page coming up after clicking “search”. I know this worked correctly in the past. What are some good methods to troubleshoot?
