I have defined a region in my theme in which I've placed the search box. But, it only appears when a user is logged in. I checked to see the visibility and made sure the block is also visible to anonymous users; but it doesn't show up.
I searched online for the issue but I wasn't able to find a good (working) solution. Is there a way to do so?

My search block visibility settings: snap

  • Did you assign a region to the block?

  • yes I did. It appears fine for other roles. Just doesn't show up for an anonymous user.

I think you and I had the same problem; the fix "Under Search give 'Use search ' permission for anonymous user" actually worked for me, but because of this, it didn't work immediately:

Home » Administration » Configuration » Development » Performance

"Cache pages for anonymous users"

just hit "Clear all cache" & your good to go!

There is one more permission need to set at admin/people/permissions. Under Search give 'Use search ' permission for anonymous user

  • Try disabling CSS/JS, Clear your cache and hope for the best

  • @saadlulu I've turned CSS/JS caching off, and also did drush cc all and cleared even by browser's cache. Still not working.
