Currently your search form is:

<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="">
<input name="textfield" type="text" class="searchbox" size="10" />
<input name="imageField" type="image" src="images/search_go.gif" />
</form>

Which basically does nothing. What purpose do you want for your search bar - to search your site, the page your on? or to search and external engine i.e. google?

google

google search your website

replace

<form name="form1" id="form1" method="post" action="">
<input name="textfield" type="text" class="searchbox" size="10" />
<input name="imageField" type="image" src="images/search_go.gif" />
</form>

with

<FORM method=GET action="http://www.google.co.uk/search">
<input type=hidden name=ie value=UTF-8>
<input type=hidden name=oe value=UTF-8>
<INPUT TYPE=text name=q class="searchbox" size=25 maxlength=255 value="">
<INPUT type=submit name=btnG VALUE="Go" src="images/search_go.gif">
</FORM>

That should work, might not. Remember to make a back up of the first. You might also want to put somewhere that your search is powered by Google - just so that users know.

Or you could follow the instructions on that page lol, the code I gave you is for the simple version, and it should look just like your current one - but actually work.

thanks
