Support for Drupal 7 is ending on 5 January 2025—it’s time to migrate to Drupal 10! Learn about the many benefits of Drupal 10 and find migration tools in our resource center.I'm having trouble putting the search box in the header block. When I place it there it shows in the administrative back-end but does not show on the front end once I sign out. The settings are set to allow anyone to view the search field block so that's not the issue. Not sure if this is a bug or user error. Please fill me in.

plaverty CreditAttribution: plaverty commentedI'm having the same problem. Where do I change the search permissions? I'm looking under the Permissions screen, but I don't see anything for Search. Is it somewhere else?

1. You should give the permission to anonymous user to "Use search" at People->Permissions->Search
2. You should put the "Search form" block in header region at Structure->Blocks

kiltedscotsman5 CreditAttribution: kiltedscotsman5 commentedJust running across this one... I am in Drupal 7, when I go to Configure > People, I don't see a Permissions tab or section. Is there a module I need to add?
(I am new to Drupal, so there may be something obvious I am missing)
UPDATE FIFTEEN MINUTES LATER:
Never mind. I'm a dolt, but I found it eventually.

iarc13 CreditAttribution: iarc13 commented#3 helped. I had disabled search and re-enabled it. Discovered that disabling the module deleted the block configuration. I had to add that block to header again. If you notice, drupal does warn that the block configuration would be deleted.
