Issue with search form not passing on keywords

I've created a custom search field to include in the header on a site, following this tutorial (as usual)
http://dev.typolight.org/wiki/TutorialsCustomSearchForm

It used to work, but for some reason has stopped. I've just created another form from scratch -- also doesn't work.

There is one instance of the form in the header and another in the footer. Does someone have an idea what's wrong here? Many thanks for any help.

There is a much easier way to do it:

Code:

---

<form method="get" action="contact">
<div class="formbody">
  <input type="text" value="" class="text" name="keywords" />
  <input type="submit" class="submit" value="Search" />
</div>
</form>

Thanks for your answer, Leo. Looking at your code made me realise that 'Submission method' was set to POST instead of GET. :oops:

That is actually correct for the solution described in the tutorial. It is just much easier to do it my way :lol:
