Edit wordpress default search problem.

[the-sexy-slug]

Hello

 

I would like a little help. What I would like to do is to use the default wordpress search function and instead of it searching the blog database for results what I would like to do is to use the keyword that was entered in the wordpress blog search box and display a page that will just basically echo that search term. I do not want it to show results from my blog like posts or pages just the search term. I know that sounds strange but can it be done and if it can how is it done. I am not very knowledgeable on the wordpress coding.

 

Thanks.

Sounds like you might not be very knowledgeable about php all round. Just point the search form at a script like.....

 

<?php

if (isset($_POST['search'])) {
  echo "You searched for " . htmlentities($_POST['search']);
}

Thank you thorpe for your help and sorry for posting in the wrong forum.

 

I have tried what you suggested in the search.php file in my wordpress test blog and it has given me a syntax error:-

 

Parse error: syntax error, unexpected '{'

 

Also yes you are correct I am not great at php but I am very slowly learning.
