Help!
I have added a search box to my new theme and no matter what I put in it and search, it takes me to the most current three blog postings.
here's my searchform.php code:
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
<input type="text" value="Search" onclick="value=''" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</form>Any thoughts?

Please do bump, you'll lessen the chances of a response in doing so on these forums.
If your theme doesn't have a search.php, create one... it only needs the most basic of loops, and you're own HTML (relevant to your theme)..
Here's a very basic example of the code to place into search.php
<?php get_header(); ?>
<?php if( have_posts() ) : ?>
<?php while( have_posts() ) : the_post(); ?>
<h2><?php the_title() ?></h2>
<div class="content">
<?php the_content(); ?>
</div>
<?php endwhile; ?>
<?php endif; ?>
<?php get_footer() ?>In short, it's just a regular loop..
Without the search.php, your search requests are being dealt with by index.php, which you may have adjusted for other uses.
Also see the default theme's search.php for a further example.

but I don't know what you mean by 'bump.'

Your previous self-reply to the thread pushes you off the no-replies list which some of us (support volunteers) use to find threads that require a response, by replying to your own thread you remove the possiblity of being on that list.
I updated your first post and removed the self-reply.
If you've resolved your initial query though, then we need not worry about it anymore ... :) more a FYI for future postings...
