Below is the coding for my search box on my website at: Professional Graphic Design Solutions

I cant seem to get this to search, I think something is missing in the code, any ideas?

Here's the code........

<div class="outerhol">
<div class="search">
<form action="" method="get">
<input name="search" type="text" class="textfield">
<input name="search" type="button" value="search" class="button">
</form>
</div>
</div>

I have been told that I need a php file that runs a search? Anyone know where I can get one and exactly how to code this properly?

All help is genuinely appreciated........

    So ... from your source code it doesn't apprear your using a CMS or WP ..

    Yes, you need a form action ... you also need to rename the button to something else, form name attributes need to be unique.

    Third, your on godaddy I presume without shell access. So, you would have to have your content in a database. Another option is to put in a google search bar.

        Huh? The browser does this for the user.. CONTROL-F

        Pretty pointless feature, concentrate on other things to get your site up and don't worry about little features like this.

          Cause if he only wants to search the single page, he'd have to setup a new search in google for every single page.
