Blogger Search Tool Replaced by Custom Search Widget!

I discovered that the Blogger.com search widget doesn't work and is a known unresolved Google bug. I implemented a workaround by creating a custom search widget that included some HTML code that I found. I now have a working 'Search Intern Blog' widget.  I used the following code snippet:

<form action="search" name="input" method="get">
<input value="" name="q" size="18" type="text"/>

<input value="Search" type="submit"/>
</form>
