 * Ewww just noticed something a bit weird while pasting that link above.. I’ve 
   changed the form button on my search page ([http://www.gnhousecall.com/v2/archive/search](http://www.gnhousecall.com/v2/archive/search))
   from a standard button into an image using the following in searchform.php :
 * `<div id="searchsubmit-button"><input type="image" src="http://www.gnhousecall.
   com/v2/wp-content/themes/housecall/images/search-button.png" width="59" height
   ="30" border="0" name="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="<?php esc_attr_e( 'Search','
   twentyeleven' ); ?>" /> </div>`
 * And it seems to have changed the search string from the original format – `http://
   www.gnhousecall.com/v2/?s=house&submit=Search` to this new one `http://www.gnhousecall.
   com/v2/?s=house&submit.x=0&submit.y=0`
 * I know this isn’t anything to do with this thread but if anybody has any idea
   why that is happening i’d be grateful.

 * Booom! Worked liked a charm 😉
 * Thanks once again my friend!
 * One last thing if you don’t mind? How do I get rid of those margins at the top
   and bottom of the results that are breaking the bg image?
 * I’m guessing it’s in the styling somewhere.

 * You sir, are a legend! 😉
 * It’s all gone apart from the “reply”. Is there a different tag to disable that
   or it is turned off in the admin section?

 * Ahh that’s great!
 * I’ve created the theme myself so that’s why there’s probably tons of important
   stuff missing 😉
 * Ok I’ve changed the `<body>` tag
 * Really appreciate this George, thanks man!

 * Thanks George,
 * Here’s my site with a search loaded so you can see what I want to remove.

 * Cheers,

 * P.S. The footer not loading problem has just appeared from nowhere, I’ve just
   made another thread about it, no idea why this has started happening as I didn’t
   touch a thing. About 2 hours ago it was fine, when I came back and loaded up 
   my blog it had disappeared..

 * Ok, last thing i’m gonna post because this thread is getting big… (apologies)
 * For clarification..
 * 1) I’m using a child theme of ‘twentyeleven’ called ‘housecall’
 * 2) ‘housecall’ is the active theme
 * 3) There is no search.php in ‘housecall’
 * 4) Here is the source of twentyeleven/search.php : [http://pastebin.com/MXyw8JJh](http://pastebin.com/MXyw8JJh)
 * I’ve removed the default section & container divs and added some text to the 
   file just to show that whatever I do or put into search.php isn’t being parsed
   to the search results. It’s being totally ignored.
 * 5) Here are some search results – [http://www.gnhousecall.com/v2/?s=house](http://www.gnhousecall.com/v2/?s=house)
 * If you ‘view source’ you will see that none of my edits have made it to the outputted
   page.
 * Help! 🙂

 * Bloody hell. Haha!
 * Ok I found out about post formats!
 * I think this is why having the search.php file in my theme isn’t working. Looks
   like I have to set up a post format in searchform.php, call it in search.php 
   and create a new template called content-formatname.php to display the results!
 * Does that sound right to you?
 * Sounds a bit long winded just to get search results to me!
 * None of this changes the fact that the twentyten/search.php isn’t playing nice
   though..

 * Hmm ok, just looking at this comment in the search file..
 * /* Include the Post-Format-specific template for the content.
    * If you want 
   to overload this in a child theme then include a file * called content-___.php(
   where ___ is the Post Format name) and that will be used instead. */
 * 1) I’m guessing that “overload” should read “override”?
 * 2) What is the Post Format name? Where would I find this?
 * Cheers

 * This is what happens if I remove the twentyeleven search.php and upload it to
   my child theme..
 * [http://www.gnhousecall.com/v2/?s=house](http://www.gnhousecall.com/v2/?s=house)
 * Totally broken now..
 * I’ve tried using it in this directory both ways as below..
 * 1) leaving ref’s in the search code to ‘twentyeleven’ as is..
 * 2) changing them to the name of my child theme ‘housecall’
 * Neither way makes any difference

 * Yep just tried altering the index.php in the twentyeleven theme just in case 
   it was defaulting to that instead of my child’s index.php but that’s made no 
   difference either.

 * I’ve tried playing with the index.php and that doesn’t make any difference either.
   It’s like it’s not using any of the regular template file to output the code 
   into.
