Search feature using a web site template

I am in the process of designing a new website using one of the templates I purchased at CoffeeCup. I am using HTML Editor 2010 SE.

In the template it has on the top navigation bar a search feature. I just uploaded the website to the server at 98.131.99.82 (this is temporary as I am using it for testing; I will change the nameservers for a domain name I own - drawbridgeahead.com - once the beta testing is done) so that I can try the search feature. This is what it looks like in HTML code in the header area:

form action="#" method="post"
input type="text" name="keyword" id="keyword" /
input type="button" value="Search" id="s" /
/form

(For the purpose of this post, I removed the brackets that surround the HTML commands shown above).

When I preview the search feature after uploading by typing in a keyword (based on the keywords that I have in the site) nothing happens - not even a search page. Is this something I need to customize or did I miss an important file that came with the template I purchased when I uploaded? I contacted CoffeeCup Tech Support and I was told that this was a PHP script issue, but I am not sure where to turn and this is the reason for my post.

Thanks for your help!

Works for me. Takes me to a Google web search.
