Looking for a ‘search bar’ plugin

    Since I upgraded to WP 2.7 my search bar don’t works anymore. Before the upgrade it was pretty useless as well.

    When I install the plugins ‘Search Everything’ or ‘Advanced Search’ there is no plugin appearing in my plugin list. What does not appear cannot be activated.

    As I’m a little lost here, I hope that somebody can help me out and tell me where I can find a search plugin for my sidebar or (even better) head section, that finally works.

    Thank you very much!

  • download “Executable PHP widget”

    this is what i use for the search code

    “<form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”/index.php”>
    <div><input type=”text” value=”” name=”s” id=”s” /><input type=”submit” id=”q” value=”Search” />
    </div>
    </form>”

    Sorry but I can’t find this widget.

    When I make a text-widget with this code it creates a searchbox.
    The result of this box is every time the same: it just seem to refresh the current page.

    I now installed the Plugin Exec-PHP and then made the text widget. The result remains the same, it doesn’t shows any results.
    A costumized Google Searchengine brings results but is BleEping Ugly!

    no idea then brotha. sorry!

    this is what the search box looks like on my site

    It looks the same way on my side, but as I said nothing happens when I do a search.

    However, thank you very much for your advice. Maybe I have to look for another theme, as I noticed that the search function don’t works in the updated version either.

    Again, thank you!

    At last I have it working. The problem was a conflict on the local computer. Something with an Firefox Add-on.

    Thanks for your support!
