template.html shows up empty

[shrubbery]

I've included the search form in my sidebar and changed the post to my custom template.html file. When I search for something only the search form shows up in the results page, with no results.

If i then search again using the search form on the results page, i get a perfect set of results.

As far as I can see, both forms are pulling up the right page, but only one shows results. www.bushbreaks.co.za if you'd like a look.

Thanks.

This is the code you need for adding a search box to your home page or side bar.

<form method="get" action="search.php">
<input type="text" name="zoom_query" size="20" />
<input type="submit" value="Search" />
</form>

But this the input line from your current HTML
<input type="text" name="search_criteria" value="Search for keyword" />

The 'name' field must be "zoom_query"

Thanks. I tried that, but it didn't work. Still having the same problem.

This is your current code,
<form name="search" method="post"....

Change the method to "get", as per our example.
