   Hi there,

   My wordpress search form doesn`t work on wp-ecommerce, I try to search for every exact tag and nothing.

   My search.php code is this:

   <?php get_header(); ?>
   
   	<div class="large">
   	<?php if (have_posts()) : ?>
   
   		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   			<div class="post-title">
   			<h2>Search Results for <i>'<?php the_search_query(); ?>'</i></h2>
   			</div>
   		</div>
   
   		<?php while (have_posts()) : the_post(); ?>
   
   		<div class="post" id="post-<?php the_ID(); ?>">
   			<div class="post-title">
   			<h3 style="padding-bottom:3px"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark" title="Permanent link to <?php the_title(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a></h3>
   			<p style="padding-bottom:3px"><a href="<?php the_permalink() ?>" rel="bookmark"><?php the_permalink() ?></a></p>
   			</div>
   
   			<div class="post-content">
   			<?php the_excerpt("&hellip;"); ?>
   			</div>
   		</div>
   
   		<?php endwhile; ?>
   
   		<div class="post-nav">
   			<div class="previous"><?php previous_posts_link('&lsaquo; Previous Page') ?></div>
   			<div class="next"><?php next_posts_link('Next Page &rsaquo;') ?></div>
   		</div>
   
   	<?php else : ?>
   
   		<div class="post">
   			<div class="post-title">
   			<h2>Nothing Found</h2>
   			</div>
   
   			<div class="post-content">
   			<p>Sorry, no posts matched your search for <i>'<?php the_search_query(); ?>'</i></p>
   			</div>
   		</div>
   
   	<?php endif; ?>
   	</div>
   
   <?php get_sidebar(); ?>		
   
   <?php get_footer(); ?>

   and my searchform.php is:

   <div id="searchWrapper">
   	<form method="get" id="search-form" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
   			<input class="textInput" type="text" name="search" id="search" maxlength="50" value="<?php if(is_search()){the_search_query();} ?>" />
   	</form>
   </div>

   What could the problem be?

   Thanks in advance

   wp-ecommerece does not store data as normal pages or posts, so the regular WP search can't find it. People have been complaining about this for a looooong time. If you use a page/post-based ecommerce plugin (like eshop) you can use the regular search box.

   What should the search be like then?

   I believe it comes with its own search capability. I haven't tested that plugin in a long time.
