Basically  you need to include the Wordpress loop in your search php template to loop through the search results and show them as part of the template   Below is a very basic example from The WordPress Theme Search Template and Page Template over at ThemeShaper    lt  php        The template for displaying Search Results pages         package Shape     since Shape 1 0      get header      gt            lt section id  primary  class  content-area  gt               lt div id  content  class  site-content  role  main  gt                lt  php if   have posts         gt                    lt header class  page-header  gt                       lt h1 class  page-title  gt  lt  php printf       Search Results for   s    shape       lt span gt     get search query       lt  span gt        gt  lt  h1 gt                   lt  header gt  lt  --  page-header -- gt                    lt  php shape content nav   nav-above       gt                    lt  php    Start the Loop      gt                   lt  php while   have posts       the post      gt                        lt  php get template part   content    search       gt                    lt  php endwhile    gt                    lt  php shape content nav   nav-below       gt                lt  php else     gt                    lt  php get template part   no-results    search       gt                lt  php endif    gt                lt  div gt  lt  --  content  site-content -- gt           lt  section gt  lt  --  primary  content-area -- gt    lt  php get sidebar      gt   lt  php get footer      gt
