 * Good Day,
 * I am having problem in searching, if I will use my searchform (customize), I 
   will return to the index with a url ([http://localhost/?webbox=text](http://localhost/?webbox=text))
   but if I will exchange the webbox in the url into s ([http://localhost/?s=text](http://localhost/?s=text))
   it will use the search.php page…
 * why is that so? is there any problem with my searchform?

       <form method="get" action="">
                   <p>
                       <input class="clearfield" type="text" value="Search..." title="Search..." name="s" />
                       <input type="submit" value="" />

       <form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url')?>" name="searchform">
           <div class="searchbar">
               <input type="text" class="webbox" name="webbox" size="18" value="Search" onclick="sb_focus();" onblur="sb_out();"/>
               <button class="btn" title="Web Search" type="submit">Search</button>
           </div><!--searchbar-->
       </form>
       ```
   
 * That’s my searchform…
    Still it generates webbox in the URL…

 * I already found the problem,
    it is on the `<input type="text" class="webbox"
   name="webbox" size="18" value="Search" onclick="sb_focus();" onblur="sb_out();"/
   >` **name=”webbox”** I replace it into _**name=”s”**_
 * Thank you
