Also had the workflow problem. After spending two hours comparing my master with the ootb master, I stumbled across your post and solved my problem in 5 minutes.

THANKS MUCH!

Thank you for posting this!!! I did the same thing in trying to dress up the sites. Adding a workflow to any list failed with “unknown error” and “Unable to validate data” when the master had a seach box. Sharepoint is a creaking clanking pile of S@#T!!!

Thanks! This post saved me a lot of grief. Have been banging my head on the wall trying to figure out what was wrong with the document ‘check in’ erroring with the same validation problem.

I think the best way would be to code your own Search WebPart. I have been doing some reverse engineering of it and it’s not the most prettiest of WebParts internally The application.master wasn’t meant to be a page that should be edited. Not sure why?

Thank you! I also had the problem on check-in check-out. So, is there a way to impletement a search in application.master at all?

Thank you for this post, without it I would’ve spent countless amount of hours and days in trying to resolve this issue.

In my case the problem encountered was that check-in and check-out gave “Unable to validate data” error.
