Search results not formatting to fluid page width

for some reason, .page-content is nested twice in the search page. see html code from the browser:

<!-- left+right bottom shadow -->
  <div class="shadow-left page-content main-wrapper">
   <div class="shadow-right">

<!-- main content: primary + sidebar(s) -->
<div id="shadow-left" class="page-content">
 <div id="shadow-right">
  <div id="main">
   <div id="main-inside" class="clearfix">

The first piece of code is in the header and the second one is in the search.php file.

make a backup copy of your theme files before editing

in search.php, try and remove:

<div id="shadow-left" class="page-content">
 <div id="shadow-right">

and also towards the end remove the two matching closing divs (there are four of them together, remove two):

</div>
  </div>

and see if that changes anything else than your width.

good lick ??

Thanks, that fixed it.
