Search function not working properly

[Ajeh]

Have you an URL that we can look at where this is happening?

Is this a clean v1.3.7 or an upgrade?

If an upgrade from what version and how did you do the upgrade?

[Jedward]

It is clean version 1.3.6

What happens if you switch to Classic template and try the search?

[Jedward]

Good idea, I did it and search works just fine.... so it is something wrong in my template, can I copy the classic search files to my template manualy or would you please tell me where and what should I look for?

The search box files for the header are controlled by:
/includes/modules/sideboxes/search_header.php
/includes/templates/template_default/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php

Look like either they are out of date or you are using override files that are out of date:
/includes/modules/sideboxes/your_template_dir/search_header.php
/includes/templates/your_template_dir/sideboxes/tpl_search_header.php

Check a clean Zen Cart for the version you are running and compare the files ...
