Hi,
When I enter search words on my Wiki, the site often gives an error like "Search failed. Try again later." although I have most certainly used a word that's on the Wiki. I search for "event*", and there are many pages with events or event in them. Any one an idea?
Thanks!
It has been doing this for a few weeks, usually when trying to search fthe forum rather than just pages. I'll report it again on the bugs site.

Hi,
I've looked around some and don't think this is answered elsewhere, but if I'm wrong, my apologies in advance.
I would like to be able to do provide searches by two tags — e.g., to find all pages that are tagged with "MA" and "band" (see http://kindiy.wikidot.com for what I'm doing). It is that doable?
Thanks!
You can do a search on pages that have one of the tags using tags: CA Band in the search box, but unless I am being totally stupid I don't think you can search on pages that have both CA and Band tags. I'm sure we used to be able to but it caused a performance problem as far as I recall.
However, if you are going to regularly display the same sort of results on your pages then it would be better anyway to put a listpages module in a live template for each category (artists, venues etc). With a listpages module you can display pages that only have both CA and Band tags, for example:
Having had a quick look at your site I think you should investigate using dataforms for the data entry as you will want your users to enter the data in a structured way. You can then use the listpages module to display the data.

There is a method in the Wikidot API that allows us to do exactly this.
You can also do this using a ListPages module.

Is there no way to modify the search box size so it can fit in the left panel?
You've posted this in 3 different places… please post in just one place next time, and wait for a reply. Your question isn't the only one needing an answer.
As for the answer itself, I can't give it to you and you'll have to wait for Rob or some other CSS expert to answer that question. You almost certainly will need to use CSS to do it.

Sorry, as the question suggests, I'm still pretty new on the site and learning. My apologies for the multiple postings. Part of the reason was a lack of clarity of where to post. Again, my apologies.
Patience, Grasshopper. Good things come to those who wait!
Try this for a jump-start:
It uses the css module to set the width of the input text box. The div that wraps the search module tightens things up so the search button slides underneath the input box.
Hope this helps.

Ed's answer is the best way to do this within the confines of the narrow sidebar. But to give you a small alternative, if you want to have the input box take up the full width of the sidebar but also keep the search button underneath it then add this to your nav-side page:

Thank you Ed and Rob! It worked.
Will this enable me to custom searches to include or just search for uploaded file content i.e. images?
I don't think so
No. You cannot search for files (e.g. images).
The search module simply allows you to place the search box in one of your pages — it acts in the same way as the main search box on your wiki.

Hi Stacey!
I have a workaround - which works really good ( with MY pictures)
I made on my own test site some pages:
I inserted following block at the end:
AND the search works - even the filenames are hidden:
I know this is not a good workaround ( it needs this file block ever where you have a file attached )
Hope this helps ?
EDIT: this does not work now - I think I need my first solution again with a parallel copied "File list" as text in the page..
