Search Bar is missing...![]() Submitted by Bahamut on February 28, 2007 - 2:34am
Does anyone else have a missing search bar? I see the link, and it works, but no text box. ( categories: )

Here it works
I click on the word "Search" and another site opens with a box to enter the text.

Yeah. Like I said, the link
Yeah. Like I said, the link works, but the text box is gone.
(Boring.)
I'm
guessing that it's a Drupal 5.0 thing, although I have a feeling that it might also get throttled when the site its running at high capacity.

Caching Issue
It's part of the caching hacks I had to use. Basically, several pages like the homepage are cached as straight html on the server using some cron jobs I created and some htaccess redirects. This is how I was able to extend the useful life of using a single server despite the huge amount of traffic we get. Drupal uses forms validation, though, so it would break the search box on cached pages. So, for now, I have set it as a simple link.
Sometimes, the impossible can become possible, if you're awesome!
