need help with search page

  • hello guys
    i need help. i would like to set search capabilities for visitors to page elcosito.com. as of now a search brings up nothing. I would like to set it up to search the comments content. i bet is hard but im willing to do the work
    i am not a coder but good at following directions. the wordpress instructions tell me to delete ′the loop′ and everything within my ′div′ but not sure (dont wanna screw anything up) were de div starts and ends?. here are the instrucions, help… anyone?

    Delete The Loop (i.e. basically everything within your content div), leaving the div tags intact.
    Add a heading such as “Search Posts” or something similar. You can use an existing class from your CSS style sheet, or create a new one.
    Copy the following into the content div or any other div that contains the content of your Page:
