I've spent a lot of time figuring out why my search is not working in my custom made template. So far I was able to figure out how to include searchform.php file in my header, created search.php file which is currently empty (so at the moment when I search for something I get redirected to a blank page and I think I definitely need something in search.php file to make it work), I was reading all around Wordpress codex but could not find a solution, only useful information I found was this.

Can you suggest what need's to be done in order to display results of a search? is there a special query, function etc? I really can't find it anywhere.

my **searchform.php** file in case you need it.

```
<form action="<?php echo home_url(); ?>" id="search-form" method="get">
    <input type="text" name="s" id="s" value="type your search" onblur="if(this.value=='')this.value='type your search'"
    onfocus="if(this.value=='type your search')this.value=''" />
    <input type="hidden" value="submit" />
</form>

```
