Notice you've specified the regex as r'^$' for the include of
'website.urls'. So the only thing that is going to match is an empty
string.

Yet within it you have an entry for r'search/'. This won't ever get used
since the only url that will get routed to website.urls is the empty string,
and that won't match r'search/'. Thus you get:
The problem is that the {% url website-search %} tags don't work. They

because there is no way construct a url that will get resolved to the
'website-search' named url as you have it set up.

It works there because you've removed the constraint that in order to route
to 'website-search' the url must first match the empty string r'^$'. So now
it is possible to reverse it.

If you want 'website.urls' to handle anything not yet matched in the main
urls file, specify it as:
(r'', include('website.urls')),
