The Search Problem and the Poll Results Problem
I can't take any credit for it. A girl can't do everything at once, and tonight was my TIP night, not my wiki night.
But Caithion went digging, and she found a new feature in this version of the wiki software that I didn't even know existed. Boxes were ticked, and all registered users should now be able to view poll results and search to their hearts' content.
Please comment here if either of these features is still failing to work for you. And please feel free to send Caithion flowers.
