Adding a search function in a blog

  • For the blog https://power-pickers.com/, I’m trying to add a function so that people can search within the blog. I tried using the widget search but it doesn’t seem to work. Can someone direct me to a plugin or widget that will allow people to search?

    Thanks

  • does your theme include any search.php or searchform.php files?

    if so, you can call to them
    in header.php I have

    <div id="search">
                  <?php include (TEMPLATEPATH . "/searchform.php"); ?>
         </div>

    (obviously #search is styled in my css)
    which calls to a file called searchform.php which simply includes:

    <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>" style="padding:0px 0px 0px 0px; margin:0px 0px 0px 0px">
					<input type="text"  name="s" id="s" value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>"/><input class="input" type="image" src="<?php bloginfo('stylesheet_directory'); ?>/images/search.png" value="submit" style="border:0px"/>
					</form>

    (note that that exact code wouldn’t necessarily work for you, as it references an image, search.png, in my themes images folder)

    the results are displayed in my search.php

    I am using BFA roundtabs and had to replace the search.php.

    Thanks!
