Hello, I have faced a similar issue with the search panel having disappeared both from the column and from the panel wizard. I tried changing all the possible page layouts and every time i changed the layout i went and checked the panel in the panel wizard. It just wasn't there! The one thing that i distinctly remember i did before the panel disappeared is that i changed the look & feel of the search box by adding a different button and set a background image. In fact, i had playing around with the skin for quite a while not just the panels. Don't know if these two are related. I had to scrap one of the instances of XWiki 1.7 final because of this problem. I have managed to setup the whole thing again. However, i am afraid i might just end into the same thing again. I am running XWiki 1.7 final version on a tomcat 6 server with mysql 5 and the corresponding jdbc:mysql driver. This time, however, i've not changed the skin or the css at all except for the logo at the top. Thank you guys!!!

I managed that by entering it in the Url directly. But your first suggestion doesn't work as I can't find "new page" panel under the "tools". Only "search" panel is shown under "tools". Is it a xWiki bug? Regards, Harrison
