   After searching exhaustively in the forums, I am stumped as to how to add a simple wordpress specific search form to an HTML page that will search a single wordpress blog install.

   WordPress's sidebar search is built to be included in a PHP page with the existing wordpess framework otherwise it would be perfect. I would like my results to end up on wordpress blog's search results page if possible.

   I did try to add this to the header area:

   <?php require_once("./members/wp-blog-header.php"); ?>

   Where members is the name of the directory where the blog is, and then this snippet in the area I wanted the search field:

   <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
   <div><input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
   <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
   </div>
   </form>

   I got the idea from an article titled:
