I'm no Javascript expert, but my guess would be that nothing happens 
because the form action calls a Javascript function, but the function is 
not defined on the page.  The opening form tag is:

<form action="javascript:submitSearch(this);" enctype="multipart/form-data: 
charset=utf-8" name="search" id="search" onsubmit="return submitSearch(this);">

I don't see the submitSearch function defined anywhere.  (It should be 
there in the canned page which comes with the system.)
