Allow Users to Search Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce Sites

There are a few additional things to consider if you’re using a Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce site:

• If Chatter is enabled, global search and contextual feed search are enabled by default in all sites.
• With global search, members can search for records, files, people, groups, topics, feed posts, and comments.
• Feed search () is helpful when members want to look for information in a specific feed context. Groups, user profiles, records, and the site feed support feed search.
• If Chatter isn’t enabled, sidebar search is enabled in all Salesforce Tabs + Visualforce sites.
• Sidebar search doesn’t support searches for items specific to Chatter, such as feeds, groups, files, topics, and user profiles.
