Editing or creating a Drupal site where the search form stopped working or never worked in the first place? Enable 'Search' module in http://sitename.com/ ?q=admin/module See ?q=admin/settings/search to see how many items are left to index. If you see that the site says 0% indexed, 177 items to go or something along those lines, run cron. Run 'cron.php' from your browser like http://www. sitename .com/cron.php Check ?q=admin/settings/search again to see the status of search module. That's it. Something I never thought to do while making the site, so hopefully this post helps someone else out.
