Has anyone here deployed a DNN (9.13.2) site where the built-in search literally appears to do nothing at all? No search. No errors. Nothing. Type something in and nothing happens. Not even an error in the console. This brand-new site has nothing happening with that feature.

I just performed a clean install of a DNN 9.13.2 instance and search is working perfectly after the first run of the scheduled "Search: Site Crawler" task.

Did you check the scheduler to make sure it (and the search crawler) are running?

Yeah, the scheduler is running. Unfortunately, I think this is permissions too. Also unfortunate, it's a "black box" installation where I can't troubleshoot anything myself. I'm limited to their SysAdmin telling me he did everything correctly.

The scheduler is running, the history has no errors. The log has no errors. I can't think of anything else. This is one of the more mature features in DNN.

Thanks for the sanity check. My brain feels "fried" right now and I wanted to be sure I wasn't missing anything.
