As an anonymous user, if you go to website.com/search/site
and type in a valid word.

You get an empty results page. With the normal helper statements "check if your spell is correct..." etc etc...

This also returns you to the /search/site page, not the "/search/site/_validthing_" you searched for URL.

If you go in to the URL bar, and type the word you're searching for, in such as : "/search/site/_thingtosearchfor_" . it works, you get the full set of results you expect.

Then, if I do this as an authenticated user, logged in to the site, I can use /search/site perfectly fine.
Results return as expected.

And yes, Anonymous users can use search :) . Before you ask :)

Thoughts?
Is this a caching issue?
Something else?

Thoughts?
Questions?

Thanks!

We can close this.

Here's what the problem was.

On my theme, for reasons I am completely unsure why... RECAPTCHA wasn't being rendered below the search box.

I disabled my custom theme, and used bartik, and recaptcha showed up.

Disabled recaptcha on the form, and it works.

Thanks!
