Description

[Claudius Gayle]

***Overview Description: 
  It is not currently possible to do searches in the MySidebar Search tab.

***Steps to Reproduce: 
1) Open your sidebar to the Search tab
2) type a search term and click 'Search'


***Actual Results: 
	The browser looks busy for a sec and the button changes to 'Stop'
Then it reverts to 'Search' and nothing has happened. No results in the Sidebar
(this may be a result of another related bug) AND no results in the content window.

***Expected Results: 

Search results in the sidebar and the content window.

***Build Date & Platform Info: 

This bug was originally found by [e-mail] on the 2001041604 WinNT build.
I however don't seem to be able to reproduce it on a 2001041704 Win98 build
but it does repro on MacOS and Linux builds of the same timestamp.

Using US Windows 98, Recommended install, 042404 build, bug reproduces as 
described above.

However, I just saw Sidebar Search work on TPringle's machine with the same 
build, but I do not know which type of install he used.

After a recommended and full install of build 2001042420, I see that the 
default basic sidebar search is still broken.

matt, maybe try an opt build or <gulp> commercial build? I can still repro this on three
different platforms with a mix of new/old profiles on the 20010426 builds. Lynnw and others
have seen this as well. Although, there is one reprot of someone else w/a build that should've
showed the bug but did not.

Comment 8

[matt]

the build I showed you it working was commercial optimized.
I've tried 2 machines....3 types of builds.
We need to sit down together and look at this.  What a pain in the ars this bug 
is.

Basic sidebar search works if the user switches to Advanced, performs a search 
and then switches back to Basic. Suggests that default search is not working. 
This test was performed in build 20010508 (commercial).
