Also, the code that is in my functions.php section for the default wordpress search bar is as follows:
// Search Form
function dessert_wpsearch($form) {
$form = ‘<form role=”search” method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”‘ . home_url( ‘/’ ) . ‘” >
<label class=”screen-reader-text” for=”s”>’ . ‘</label>
<input type=”text” value=”‘ . get_search_query() . ‘” name=”s” id=”s” placeholder=”‘.esc_attr__(‘Search…’,’dessert’).'” />
<input type=”submit” id=”searchsubmit” value=”‘. esc_attr__(‘Go’) .'” />
</form>’;
return $form;
}
