There is a basic search engine included (ezsearch), but the preferred one is eZ Find.
The doc is on the documentation page, look at your left side for the 'Extensions' part.
There is also some doc bundled with the extension.

Hi,
Exponential came with an search engine but you can use also ez find extension.

if you want to use the search engine , use this code in your pagelayout:

<form method="get"
action={'/content/search'|ezurl}>
<input type="text" name="SearchText" />
<input type="submit" name="SearchButton"
value="Search" />
</form>

i think this can help you.

good luck

The theory is when we know everything and nothing works.
The practice is when everything works and nobody knows why.
If the practice and theory are met, nothing works and we do not know why.
