   In the future i want to add my own pages as an addition of my wordpress installation.

   for example i want to add searchobject.php

   I've took index.php from the default template saved it as searchobject.php

   if i go to http://www.mydomain.com/searchobject.php it cant be found.

   How can i get this done?

   Thanks in advance!

   You need to create the page as a custom template and then create a new page in wordpress and assign the template to it.

   Thanks! is it possible to get variables through $_GET etc?

   and pass them through with searchobject.php?object=1 etc ?

   Yup.

   You know WordPress has it's own built-in search?

   Yeah i do,

   What i want to do with the page is get data out of another database wich has information about objects (houses)
   Is that doable?

   Yep, sure. A custom template is just a php page with access to the wordpress loop, vars etc

   During the weekend I searched some more and tested quite some plugins and possibilitys. It seems that I really need :
