I'm having the same issue. I started with a fresh install of DNN 5.5.0 and the search results page always came up blank.  I login as the Host user, then do a search, I get this:

This module is hidden to regular users if there is no Search=xxx querystring parameter.

I have since upgraded (using the upgrade package) to 5.5.1.  Still isn't working.

I have check the "Search Engine Scheduler" and it's reporting "True" in it's history. Seems fine.

My site is pretty simple, puchased skin, CataLook with no admin/host setting modifications from the orginal install.  Take a look: http://www.allysjewelry.com/default.aspx

Let me know what you think.

Thanks.

Yeah, I'm not worried about catalook since it has it's own product search module. I'm speaking about DNN's default search input/results page function. If I use the search input field on the skin or place the search input module on a page and do a search, the result is the same... It gives me that error mentioned above.

It looks like your search box in your skin doesn't actually work properly. If you type in http://www.allysjewelry.com/SearchResults/tabid/41/List/0/Default.aspx?search=test you get "no results" Did you create the skin yourself? Is it using the standard search skin object? Also the "list/0" portion of the URL shows up, perhaps Catalook is doing a redirect when that isn't passed, and that is causing issues on the search results page?
