Wordpress search box not working.

	<div id="search">
		<form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php bloginfo('siteurl'); ?>">
		<fieldset>
			<input type="text" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" size="21" id="text" />
			<input type="submit" value="Search" id="searchsubmit" /> 
		</fieldset>
		</form>
		</div>

PHP:

This is my code and it's not working
All it does is it takes you to my homepage

 

Maybe this will work:
<input type="text" name="s" id="s" value="<?php the_search_query(); ?>" size="21" />

 

yeah that was it thanks!
