Error 404 search form not working?!

Perhaps this has been answered before, but my search yielded me nothing. I have created custom search pages found here. I have tested it, and although I still lack quite a bit of template changes to make it look pleasing, it works as I am wanting. I have also set up my custom 404 with a search form much like my search pages have, however, when I search from it it continues with 404’s as if searching from the referring 404’s url.
