Adding remote search of a wordpress blog to regular HTML

  • After searching exhaustively in the forums, I am stumped as to how to add a simple wordpress specific search form to an HTML page that will search a single wordpress blog install.

    WordPress’s sidebar search is built to be included in a PHP page with the existing wordpess framework otherwise it would be perfect. I would like my results to end up on wordpress blog’s search results page if possible.

    I did try to add this to the header area:

    <?php require_once("./members/wp-blog-header.php"); ?>

    Where members is the name of the directory where the blog is, and then this snippet in the area I wanted the search field:

    <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>

    I got the idea from an article titled:
