uCoz Web Service has its own Site search.

You do not have to install this module. It is installed by default and it is a required module.
Attention: it is impossible to deinstall the Site Search module!

Though it is possible to set it up or not to use it at all.

You can select the modules to search in:


We would like to draw your attention to the setting

Supplement search results by tags with the results of site search:
If the checkbox is tagged, the site search results will be shown after the search results by tags.
Here is how the site search results will look for the request: CINEMA

And this is the way the search results by the tag CINEMA will look (You will see them in addition with site search results).

Where the first result is the search result by the tag CINEMA. And the rest of he results are site search results for the request CINEMA.
(This is an example with the default settings of Appearance of entries. "Entry brief description" in the modules is also disabled)


It is not difficult to distinguish the search results by the tag from the site search results. The appearance of the site search entries is the following: module name + the date (day-month-year the time of adding the entry).

The appearance of the search entries by the tag is the following: module name + the title of the module category (nesting depth of an entry. The code $ENTRY_DEPTH$ is responsible for that)+the date when the entry was added (day.month.year).

It is also possible to distinguish the search results by the tag from the site search results with a help of the URL of the request:

The appearance of the request URL of the site search results is the following: http://siteaddress/search/?q=
The appearance of the request URL of the search results by the tag is the following: http://siteaddress/search/

If the checkbox “Supplement search results by tags with the results of site search:” is not tagged:
the search by tag will show the results for the request of this tag only. And the site search will show the results on the search requests only.

Site search module has design customization feature.

Search page – will help you to customize the design of the page with the results of the site search and the search by tags.
Appearance of entries – will help you to customize the appearance of search results entries.

Sitemap

Sitemap is generated automatically on each website now. Users do not have to create it any more. Sitemap files are updated automatically, approximately once a day (depends on how often the website is updated). URLs of Sitemap files are written in the default robots.txt file, which we advise not to change.
You can get URLs of the Sitemap in Control panel->Site search
Note on search forms: each site module has codes $SEARCH_FORM$ and $MODULE_SEARCH_FORM$
It means that either the form for the indexed search on the whole website ($SEARCH_FORM$) or form to search entries of a module ($MODULE_SEARCH_FORM$) can be embedded into the template of the modules. Of course, both forms can be used simultaneously in order to search on the whole website or to search entries of a certain module.

Addition: on the websites with uID login, uNet users' bar has a site search form: Userbar->Control->Site search

Note:
  • The new entries are indexed within 10 days.
  • The entries that are deleted from the website, disappear from the search results within 14 days
  • In order to re-index the entries in the catalog manually, you need to tag the checkbox “Entry date:“ and Save without making any other changes.

HorseIsleSense, I am not sure i understand your question.
If you have site search enabled on your website it is possible to search for all the entries in all the pages at the website.
You may enable module search, so you will be able to search for a certain entry of a certain module. To do so add the code
Code
$MODULE_SEARCH_FORM$
to the template of a certain module.
I hope this is what you are interested in.

You need to wait. It means that your website hasn't been indexed by robots. (or the new entries were added after the indexation) It will be possible to find entries with the help of "Search" after the next indexation. The indexation is performed once in 4 days.

komsha, if after 4 day you still face some problems, you need to provide a website name for us to check. Specify which kind of search do you use (module search/ site search) and which entires are causing difficulties.

Site search won't search entries by tags, only if I click on a tag in a tag cloud or in the entry where the tag list is for that entry it displays search results.

And i think that it shouldn't work that way because we have option in Control Panel >> Site Search >> Module Settings >> "Supplement search results by tags with the results of site search:"

VLADA, we have checked your website. Everything works the way it is supposed to. When you type in tags into the Site search box, the search results are supplemented by tags. (not only entries with this tag, but other entries with the searching word)

What does it mean? Which error text do you see? Describe the process step by step and provide a website name for us to be able to check.

Ronzky, as your website is only 2 days old. It hasn't been indexed by the search engines yet that is why no search results are displayed. Your website is indexed each 4 days.
