   Hi Guys

   I'm working on my first theme for WordPress. Here is the site.

   All is good, but the search is not working :( When I search for something, I get the page cannot be displayed message from the browser.

   Here is the code I have used to insert the search feature into my theme.

   <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . '/searchform.php'); ?>

   It is in the header.php file.

   I'd greatly appreciate any help.

   Thank You.

   Your search form submit points to localhost, so find and fix that URL.

   Try using <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">

   Thank you Esmi and Songdogtech

   The Search is now working, but the results page is so messed up ! and I do not know what page or pages WordPress is putting together to show them Search Results.

   How do I find out what pages are being put together so that I can format them to get a nice looking results page !

   Thank You.

   It is sorted ! thank you so much.

   I read This on the WordPress Codex site.

   It turns out I needed a [ search.php ] file

   Thank You Soo Much.
