 * Theme : Gluttony 0.1.1 by Small Potatoes
    blogsite: [http://onlythejodi.com](http://onlythejodi.com)
 * I enter any word (tag or otherwise) in the search box, goats, perfect example,
   used multiple times and depending on the browser, I get:
 * Safari: blank grey screen (theme background). No header, sidebar, error message,
   nothing
 * Firefox 3.0.13:
    (if alternate blog teaser is ACTIVE) – a 404 error message that
   almost immediately flashes over to what _looks_ like an RSS page of the teaser,
   but is not actually (if alternate blog teaser is deactivated) – a 404 error message
 * very frustrating.

       <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">

       <input type=”text” value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" name="s" id="s" />
