 * On [my blog](http://www.briterwebdesign.com/blog/), the search function in the
   right sidebar isn’t working. I would really appreciate some help with this one
   as I don’t know PHP.
 * I know that it isn’t the theme that’s the problem as it doesn’t work with other
   themes, also.

 * Just adding some more information.
 * When I enter the search term in the box and submit it, the page reloads with 
   the url displaying a ?s=searchterm after the main url. The content just displays
   like it always does.
 * Maybe this helps.
