Work with custom search.php

I am creating my own theme and I am trying to get this plugin to work with it.

I’m not getting the search results I want and I guess the problem is in my search.php.

In my header I have a get_search_form(); and all results go to the search.php.

This is the code I have in the search.php. Is there anything I need to change there to make it work with this plugin?

<?php
   $s=get_search_query();
   $args = array('s' =>$s);

   // The Query
   $the_query = new WP_Query( $args );
   if ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
     _e("<h2>Search Results for: ".get_query_var('s')."</h2>");
     while ( $the_query->have_posts() ) {
     $the_query->the_post();
   ?>
   <li>
     <a href="<?php the_permalink(); ?>"><?php the_title(); ?></a>
   </li>
   <?php
   }
   } else {
   ?>
   <h2>Nothing Found</h2>
   <div>
     <p>Sorry, but nothing matched your search criteria. Please try again with some different keywords.</p>
   </div>
   <?php } ?>
