My website \"Search\" box…

    My ”Search” box used to have the capability to ”Drop-Down” and SHOW all the Categories I had named. It shows nothing now. Can this be changed back? If so, How? Thank you!

    The blog I need help with is: (visible only to logged in users)

    Hi there!

    To make sure I’m understanding you right, are you referring to the search widget in the left-hand sidebar of your site? Browsers will sometimes save your previous search terms, and these will appear in a dropdown when clicking into the box. The capability to include a dropdown as part of the search widget has never been builtin to WordPress.com, to my knowledge.

    Looking further down the widgets in your sidebar, I can see that you also have the categories widget in place. This widget acts in the way you described: A dropdown with links to each of your posts’ categories.

    If you can let me know which specific widget you’re referring to and how you’d like to change it, I’ll see how I can help further.

    oohhhh that is exactly what I guess I meant! I think as soon as I read what you said I realized you hit the nail on the head!!! So I went and fetched that thing myself and moved it… I think! I haven’t checked back!
    I appreciate your description and offer… felt dumb… but its been too long since I played with that piece!

    Thank you!!!!!!!!

    I’m glad that helped, Dee! I can see you’re categories widget now at the top of your sidebar. :) If you have any other questions, please don’t hesitate to get in touch.
