You are correct.  Nodes are indexed by the search module on cron run.  In 
order for search to function, you need to enable the search module and then 
run cron, or more specifically setup cron to run periodically so that it can 
index any new content.  (During development it's usually sufficient to just 
manually run cron from the status page every so often.)

"If nature has made any one thing less susceptible than all others of 
exclusive property, it is the action of the thinking power called an idea, 
which an individual may exclusively possess as long as he keeps it to 
himself; but the moment it is divulged, it forces itself into the possession 
of every one, and the receiver cannot dispossess himself of it."  -- Thomas
