Hi
My search form block is only showing for authenticated users. I've tried ticking and unticking the role specific visibility settings but it hasn't fixed the problem. If I tick just show for anonymous users then the search form is never shown whether I am logged in or not. If I leave everything ticked or unticked then I can see the search form when I am logged in but not when I am not logged in.
Any ideas?
Thanks
James

Is the "search content" permission in admin/user/permissions enabled for anonymous users?

No it wasn't. It is now and all is working fine.
Thanks

Hi,

I have more or less the same problem. I cannot see the search box at the top left-hand side.
I was experimenting with the local.css file for a while, and then the search box disappeared.

I have checked the permissions like you are all saying here but nothing happens.

Any suggestions by any chance?

Thanks

I was looking for same issue, now in drupal 7.23 it is "Use search" in "admin/people/permissions"
not "search content" in "admin/user/permissions".

On Drupal 7 it works like this... go to People, then click on the top right Permissions, look for the Search and enable it for anonymous users.
