I have tried to place multiple search boxes on a single page using widget panels.

I tried to follow the instructions in the documentaion on "how to add a search box in a widget":
https://www.jamroom.net/site-builder/documentation/howto/2391/how-to-add-a-search-box-in-a-widget
I do not get any results from any of the three search boxes installed. Perhaps the indexing has not started at my site, though I have activated full-text searching in the search module.
My first concern though is that the search boxes do not operate independently. Whichever search box it is that I use, of the three installed on my search page, the search action loop spins next to the upper left box, and then the "reset" term appears on all three search boxes.
I suspect I face multiple technical problems here, but my first question is general:
In principle, can we place multiple, different and independent search boxes on a single page using widget panels?
If yes, then I will be happy to ask a freelanceer to set this up for me, eventually, if the technicalities are too much for me.
My aim is to have a single "Search Central" page where visitors can explore the network in multiple ways from a single location.
Thanks
