 * Hi,
 * Can someone please help me with code for a ‘search engine’ for my WP site?
    Is
   there just a simple function line I use?

 * Just look over the default theme. It has a search function builtin. Or if you
   just want to add a simple search form to a new theme.
 *     ```
       <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>/">
       <div><input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
       <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
       </div>
       </form>
       ```
