How to display search box in a page

    HI,

    I could not find an appropriate section to post my query and hence had to open a new discussion.

    I have a weird query. I want to display search box in a page i.e. only a search box and no other contents. The idea is to make this as my index page (something similar to google.com) where only search box will appear. I hope someone will have an answer to this.

    You will have to create a new page template in the theme directory and code it so that only a search box appears:

    Hi,

    But how do I display it on a wordpress page? Say I want to incorporate it in the index page.

    I am able to do this for Google customized search by pasting the code in the index.php after removing the code calling template from index.php. However, in this case the search results are not appearing within my site.

    The function in WordPress to display a search box is get_search_form().
