- Add the following code at the end of the file content "syndication_custom_search.php":

<ul>
<li>
<h2>Search</h2>
<ul>
<li>
<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('url'); ?>">
<input type="text" value="Enter your search" name="s" id="s" onblur="if (this.value == '') { this.value = 'Enter your search';}" onfocus="if (this.value == 'Enter your search') {this.value = '';}" />

    Thanks for that!

    For the ones that like to use the Google Search function put the Google Search code in it instead!

    Hey, thanks VK!

    Works like a charm.

    I’ve put it on my news site where it is very appropriate.

    Regards,

    Isit possible to add a “Go” Icon beside the search?

    In case visitors have “faulty keyboards” :)

    For me it worked fine, no problems. It looks a lot better too with the searchbox, allthough not many people use them, it is a kind of service you have to have on your website I think….
