Format Non-JavaScript Search Results

The search results page is powered by a file search.php. If it is not found, then index.php is used to display the page.

Create the file search.php in the theme folder and write a test message like Hello from the search results page. If we refresh the search results page (or perform a search using the form on the Search page and click submit), we should be able to see this message.

For the search results page, copy the contents of index.php into search.php and then customize the code to display search results differently.

Page title

The title of the page is Search Results. The description is Results for "xyz", where "xyz" is the actual search string from the form.
