    What's the deal?
    Am I supposed to set it up manually or something?
    if so, then how?

    If you use default theme, the search feature works right? Check it out. Then it must be the search code in the theme you are using.
    WP Themes directory http://wordpress.org/extend/themes/

    It turns out that it's my theme that has the problem.
    Is it possible to substitute the search feature of this theme with another one?

    Sure, if you're comfortable with editing HTML and CSS etc. Good luck.

    yes it is. Take a look at how the search box stuff is done inside the classic theme. Cope and paste.

    but there isn't a search feature in the classic theme.
    I tried copying and pasting with another theme but i got the same result.
    i guess it's time to find a better theme. >_>

    It is in the sidebar:

    <label for="s"><?php _e('Search:'); ?></label>
    <form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>">
    <div>
    <input type="text" name="s" id="s" size="15" /><br />
    <input type="submit" value="<?php _e('Search'); ?>" />
    </div>
    </form>
