Displaying the Search block
The Search module includes a block, which can be enabled and configured on the <a href=":blocks">Block layout page</a>, if you have the Block module installed; the default block title is Search, and it is the Search form block in the Forms category, if you wish to add another instance. The block is available to users with the <a href=":search_permission">Use search</a> permission, and it performs a search using the configured default search page.
Searching your site
Users with <a href=":search_permission">Use search</a> permission can use the Search block and <a href=":search">Search page</a>. Users with the <a href=":node_permission">View published content</a> permission can use configured search pages of type <em>Content</em> to search for content containing exact keywords; in addition, users with <a href=":search_permission">Use advanced search</a> permission can use more complex search filtering. Users with the <a href=":user_permission">View user information</a> permission can use configured search pages of type <em>Users</em> to search for active users containing the keyword anywhere in the username, and users with the <a href=":user_permission">Administer users</a> permission can search for active and blocked users, by email address or username keyword.
Extending the Search module
By default, the Search module only supports exact keyword matching in content searches. You can modify this behavior by installing a language-specific stemming module for your language (such as <a href=":porterstemmer_url">Porter Stemmer</a> for American English), which allows words such as walk, walking, and walked to be matched in the Search module. Another approach is to use a third-party search technology with stemming or partial word matching features built in, such as <a href=":solr_url">Apache Solr</a> or <a href=":sphinx_url">Sphinx</a>. There are also contributed modules that provide additional search pages. These and other <a href=":contrib-search">search-related contributed modules</a> can be downloaded by visiting Drupal.org.
The User module allows users to register, log in, and log out. It also allows users with proper permissions to manage user roles and permissions. For more information, see the <a href=":user_docs">online documentation for the User module</a>.
Creating and managing users
Through the <a href=":people">People administration page</a> you can add and cancel user accounts and assign users to roles. By editing one particular user you can change their username, email address, password, and information in other fields.
Configuring user roles
<em>Roles</em> are used to group and classify users; each user can be assigned one or more roles. Typically there are two pre-defined roles: <em>Anonymous user</em> (users that are not logged in), and <em>Authenticated user</em> (users that are registered and logged in). Depending on how your site was set up, an <em>Administrator</em> role may also be available: users with this role will automatically be assigned any new permissions whenever a module is installed. You can create additional roles on the <a href=":roles">Roles administration page</a>.
Setting permissions
After creating roles, you can set permissions for each role on the <a href=":permissions_user">Permissions page</a>. Granting a permission allows users who have been assigned a particular role to perform an action on the site, such as viewing content, editing or creating a particular type of content, administering settings for a particular module, or using a particular function of the site (such as search).
Other permissions pages
The main Permissions page can be overwhelming, so each module that defines permissions has its own page for setting them. There are links to these pages on the <a href=":modules">Extend page</a>. When editing a content type, vocabulary, etc., there is also a Manage permissions tab for permissions related to that configuration.
Managing account settings
The <a href=":accounts">Account settings page</a> allows you to manage settings for the displayed name of the Anonymous user role, personal contact forms, user registration settings, and account cancellation settings. On this page you can also manage settings for account personalization, and adapt the text for the email messages that users receive when they register or request a password recovery. You may also set which role is automatically assigned new permissions whenever a module is installed (the Administrator role).
Managing user account fields
Because User accounts are an entity type, you can extend them by adding fields through the Manage fields tab on the <a href=":accounts">Account settings page</a>. By adding fields for e.g., a picture, a biography, or address, you can a create a custom profile for the users of the website. For background information on entities and fields, see the <a href=":field_help">Field module help page</a>.
The Custom Menu Links module allows users to create menu links. These links can be translated if multiple languages are used for the site.
It is required by the Menu UI module, which provides an interface for managing menus and menu links. For more information, see the <a href=":menu-help">Menu UI module help page</a> and the <a href=":drupal-org-help">online documentation for the Custom Menu Links module</a>.
The Contextual links module gives users with the <em>Use contextual links</em> permission quick access to tasks associated with certain areas of pages on your site. For example, a menu displayed as a block has links to edit the menu and configure the block. For more information, see the <a href=":contextual">online documentation for the Contextual Links module</a>.
Displaying contextual links
Contextual links for an area on a page are displayed using a contextual links button. There are two ways to make the contextual links button visible:
contextual links button
Hovering over the area of interest will temporarily make the contextual links button visible (which looks like a pencil in most themes, and is normally displayed in the upper right corner of the area). The icon typically looks like this: @picture
If you have the <a href=":toolbar">Toolbar module</a> installed, clicking the contextual links button in the toolbar (which looks like a pencil) will make all contextual links buttons on the page visible. Clicking this button again will toggle them to invisible.
Once the contextual links button for the area of interest is visible, click the button to display the links.
The Internal Dynamic Page Cache module caches pages for all users in the database, handling dynamic content correctly. For more information, see the <a href=":dynamic_page_cache-documentation">online documentation for the Internal Dynamic Page Cache module</a>.
