I noticed here on the community forums there is a search icon in the header. Clicking the icon displays a text box for searching. The icon is missing from my forum. How can I get this functionality? Thanks in advance.

You are looking for the dbsearch addon, By default its installed in the NodeBB plugin list but not activated. The only thing you have to do is activate it.

Yeah if you put the tags in the content of the posts they will get indexed and search should find them, keep in mind the body of the posts are searched when you search in "posts" so if you are only searching for titles they wont show up.

I have a problem with the search.
I have on my server two forums.
my MongoDB has both networks.
The search returns an error message in both.
