I'm new to drupal and a bit confused by this. Using the standard Bartik theme (Drupal install 7.8) I see a search bar on the sidebar. Checking the Structure > Block it shows that the search is included in the Bartik theme on the sidebar. The preview while an admin shows the search.

However, as soon as I log out the entire sidebar_first region does not show. Just the content area.

EDIT: When adding a login box to the sidebar it does appear, however, the searchbar, and navigation do not. There are NO RESTRICTIONS applied.

EDIT2: View the screenshots below to see my settings.

Normal User sees: enter image description here

Admin User sees: enter image description here

Current settings for navigation block: enter image description here

You've to allow anonymous use to access the search form, to add this permission, you've to go People > Permission and search "Search" and check the box "Search content".

  • Hmm, that didn't work, plus according to the documentation: "If you select no roles, the block will be visible to all users." – kylex Sep 2 '11 at 4:20
  • The block gonna be available for everybody with the right to search in your site (anonymous include). By the way, have you indexed nodes ? – yvan Sep 2 '11 at 4:34
  • That's the problem, the block is NOT showing on the site. I want it to show for everyone, it is not showing for anonymous users, just for the admin. I have not indexed nodes, the site only has one page of content. I just want to set up the search bar first. – kylex Sep 2 '11 at 4:38
  • So the permissions worked for search, but not for navigation. See the images I've added. – kylex Sep 4 '11 at 18:05
  • he is not referring to the permissions on the block visibility, but the permissions for the ability to search in general. go to people > permissions and check of "search content" – user842 Sep 4 '11 at 18:20
