 * lovefalls.com/sms-zone
 * and i try to search anything in search box located at top right of the page ,
   it redirects to my home front page without showing any results!
 * Its creating problem for me , being a noob i dunno what changes to make in searchform.
   php so that it shows search results from archives/posts!
 * Here is the code i found in searchform.php
 * <form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>/”>
    <div
   > <input type=”text” value=”<?php the_search_query(); ?>” name=”s” id=”searchbox”/
   > <input type=”submit” id=”searchbutton” value=”” /> </div> </form>

 * Changing that first line to:
    `<form method="get" id="searchform" action="/index.
   php" />`
 * Should do the trick. It’s because the index.html is overriding the index.php 
   in the same directory, so search queries are getting directed to the wrong page.
