     4.    Then Search for,

PS: In this part most of you will face problems as the coding for each template differ. If you could not find this code then do not panic and simply post your Blog URL in the comments.

     5.   Now Paste the following code just below it,

<div class='clerfix' id='search'>
    <form action='/search' id='searchform' method='get'>
