How to allow guest searches?

I'm using the most current versions of TP and SMF.

I'd like to allow guests to be able to use the TP search function, but I cannot seem to find where there's a setting to allow that. (??)

I have 'Guests allowed' in the SMF settings and they can perform searches (after verification), but TP still asks for a login before permitting searches.

How can I set TP to allow Guests to search?

 :hmm: a permission for search was added recently, but like the other TinyPortal permissions that is not available to guest. May be an oversight when the permission was added...

I see a checkbox in Search Settings, but turning it on makes no difference.

I've been through all the settings shown in the 2nd image and I don't see anything that allows it.

No, the TinyPortal permission are not showing for guests. For reference check the permissions for a member group: there you will see the TinyPortal permissions.

I have all these turned on in the "Guest" profile permissions, but I still can't get it to allow searching. This looks like it's only for the boards, so I must be in the wrong place. (??)

The 2nd image shows my Groups, but I don't see Guests in there.
