Search works in FF but not IE ?

<?php

if ($submitted) {
// run search func
echo "you hit enter and I fired, don't lie.. you know you hit it!";
}
?>
<form method="post">
<input type="submit" name="submitted" value="Submit me!">
</form>

Then in PHP

if ( isset($_POST['search']) )
{
    // Blah
}

PHP:
