    Hi,

    I’m trying to make the search box in the header of my blog function but to no avail. Right now I can’t make it search the blog posts [url http://www.mychinastart.com/all

    This probably due to the wrong code but I don’t know any other:)

    The current code in the header.php is

    ————-

    <form action="http://www.mychinastart.com/page.php?id=3" method="post" name="search" id="search" class="headerboxform">
    My China Start
    " style="margin-right: 130px;">China Blog
    China Directory Index
    <input type="text" name="s" id="s" size="10" />
    Search Links
    <input name="fakeSubmitButton" style="display: none;" type="submit" />
    </form>

    ———–

    I’m sure I messed up somewhere, and would love to get any pointers on how to fix this.

    Thanks in advance

    You have some code that does not appear to be attached to anything:

    ” style=”margin-right: 130px;”>

    That said, I would take a look at how the search box is set up in the sidebar.php included in the default WordPress themes. That should help … for instance, I’m not sure why you’re using page.php?id=3. It should probably be using searchform.php unless you’ve set up page.php?id=3 to actually perform the search.

    Added: sorry. Loosely translated, my post meant: I don’t know exactly, but I can see some good places to start looking. 🙂

    in netscape your search is doing fine – if you type in city you’ll get (Hangzhou and Ningbo) and (Xian, Xiamen and Kunming).

    I have no problem using the search on your site. I assume you figured out the problem (which as DianeV pointed out, was the form element’s action attribute value).
