I disabled the widget in the admin section of wordpress and have the include script for the searchform.php on my sidebar.php file. The problem is that I do not see any search box in my side bar now. it will only show the widget. When the widget is off there is no search. Any one know whats going on?

It's rare when you do simple search, find a solution, and it works perfectly. I am using a nice template (Chaotic Soul) but either my search button or the default text was not showing. A simple cut-and-paste and a quick edit of the default text and I have exactly what I wanted. Thanks again for you work. Thank you.

Since some search forms show what the user typed in, when the search results are shown. The method above does not do this :) Jakob: The simple answer is that that function makes input from a visitor safe to display on the screen.

What does it do? And is it important? Here is what I use: 


<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">
<input type="text" onclick="if(this.value=='&nbsp;Indtast s&oslash;geord her') { this.value=''; }" value="&nbsp;Indtast s&oslash;geord her" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="hidden" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
</form>

In many WP search forms you’ll see that the value of the input field is set to:

value="<?php echo wp_specialchars($s, 1); ?>"

Why? What does it do? And is it important?

It does not change the way the results are generated. It is probably showing the protected posts because you are logged in. If you log out and search they should not appear.

However, when I put it in on my wordpress blog, it all posts, even my PROTECTED POSTS. Do you know how to limit it to showing only unprotected posts after a search? Love your search box.

So do not use that variable or make sure you escape it. The use of PHP_SELF is not so wise, as it can contain tainted data (from the client). So do not use that variable or make sure you escape it.
