I have one parent site and 2 slave sites. I'm sharing 1 article from the parent on the two slave sites. If I do a search for a word in this article using one of the slaved sites, it doesn't find it. It appears that the search module can't find words in shared articles....is this correct or am i miss configuring something??

The standard joomla search module, search for the article in its websites.
If you have shared articles with K2, this mean that the search will return the K2 records.

If you question is relative to the "Article Sharing for JMS", we have not developed and publish any module yet. That means that it does not exists a "Multisites latest new", "Multisites news flash" or event a "Multisites search".
We have several customers who request them and we will develop them.
They are not yet available.

Just to also add my vote for this module. It would really help us out!

Yes me to - my vote for search functionality in shared articles. I was quite horified when my client noticed all the content is not searchable when using shared articles - my whole site is based on this menu item.

desperate for a search module to solve this. - is there any news when this may be ready for release?

thanks

We are currently very busy to prepare the Joomla Day in Mallorca where we will present Jms Multisites. www.joomladay.cat
We expect to work on our todo list in may.
So do not expect anything before middle of may or in june.

Thanks! - love the component by the way
