Hello everyone- check out my newest dnn installation at http://westlat.sci-isp.net

I upgraded to 4.0 from 3.2 and when i did, the search stopped working.  I set the search up in the skin [SEARCH] and it is not working - it simply defaults back to the homepage.

Does anyone have any idea why this is happening or how to fix?

I just set up a DNN site on GoDaddy's $3.99 hosting account and most of it is working ok, but search  fails with "A critical error has occurred. Object reference not set to an instance of an object."

I'm having an issue with this as well.  Updgraded to 4.3.5 on both development and production servers.  Search fails and returns Object reference not set to an instance of an object.

For those with the "critical error" message, try going to the host tab, search admin, and click on re-index. That fixed my issue on www.modmyspaces.com

As for the first post, I'd start by making sure you have a search results page with the search results module on it.

I had the same experience after upgrading to 4.3.5 a few days ago.  Re-indexing fixed the error on my main portal site but for some reason, child portals are still showing that error.

Any ideas?
