BuddyPress

Are all BuddyPress posts searchable? Like all WordPress posts are? I just installed it, and it seems that the wordpress search does not search the buddypress posts. What am I missing?

Thanks for reading!

It is searchable
- members (by Name not username), groups, forums

I’m with you mrwolfy, I see the search functionality that comes in the header area with bp-default will work – though I would like to be able to modify it – but if you use the wordpress search widget, or the search box that shows up when something isn’t found, I get pushed back to the activity page (home page for me). The same happens on this site if you use the search box at the top – you’ll get thrown back to the home page.

I found a plugin at http://buddydev.com/plugins/buddypress-sitewide-activity-widget/ but it wouldn’t list posts for me. It seems to list everything but. Any advice anyone?

Thanks @mercime . I was missing the search loop – it was mentioned in the functions, but I didn’t see a note to add the associated file to my child theme.
