I see a search on the top of this forum. How do I get this in my install of bbpress, is there a plug-in that I should install?

thanks.

No plugin, just add this code wherever you want the search to appear (probably header.php):

<?php search_form( $q ); ?>

I agree, this should be better documented. Or maybe it is documented and I just never read the docs.

I’ve never figured out why the default theme doesn’t have a link to the search page. It’s some kind of weird oversight or maybe the designer was anti-search, pro-tags.

Seems pretty silly to me too. They could at least put that code in the template and comment it out if they don’t want it to appear, like you see in WordPress themes sometimes.
