  Is it possible to put the wordpress searchbox inside a post/page?

  <form method=”get” id=”searchform” action=”<?php bloginfo(‘url’); ?>”> <div> <label for=”s”>Keyword(s)</label> <input class=”text” type=”text” value=”” name=”s” id=”s” /> <input type=”submit” class=”submit button” name=”submit” value=”Search” /> </div> </form>

  No. I’m sorry but you cannot use that form code on a free hosted WordPress.com blog as the software will strip it out to preserve security and stability on this multiuser blogging platform.

  Well then you are posting to the wrong support forum as this one is only for those with free hosted WordPress.com blogs. You must post to http://wordpress.org/support/
