  • Hi Zeshan,

    Go to /wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/.
    Create a file called searchform.php.
    Add the following:

    <?php
/**
 * The template for displaying search forms in Twenty Thirteen.
 *
 * @package WordPress
 * @subpackage Twenty_Thirteen
 * @since Twenty Thirteen 1.0
 */
?>
<form role="search" method="get" class="search-form" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
				<label>
					<span class="screen-reader-text">Search for:</span>
					<input type="search" class="search-field" placeholder="Seek more in website" value="" name="s" title="Search for:" />
				</label>
 <input type="submit" class="search-submit" value="Search" />
</form>

    Save and reload.

    I’ve tested my solution on a new install of Twenty Thirteen and verified that it worked.

    Check to make sure the path of your active theme is /wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/ and that the searchform.php file, with the contents above, is also located in that location.

    /wp-content/themes/twentythirteen/searchform.php

    I see that you started a new topic on the Twenty Thirteen support forum. Just what I was going to suggest.
