Added Search to my Sky theme.php as per the documentation.
Finds text on all pages except the sub page I created under the How-To page?
Also, anyway to move a sub page up a level to the main navigation, or is this a case of create new page then copy content over ?

There's no Wcms plug-in for this so, there may be some setting in your search tool that needs adjusting. Two things in your site that may need adjusting...
Is you sub-page set as visible on the menu system? Is there a link to the sub-page somewhere on the site? If not there's no way for your search tool to find it.

1. Yes
2. Only in th navigation bar drop down. Do I need a link on another page somewhere ?

If the page is accessible to a visitor without logging in, or excluded from public view in some way, then a search tool should be able to find it - unless the search tool has been instructed not to crawl a particular area of the site. That could be a rule in a robots.txt file or a switch in the search engine itself.
