goto the admin panel (System -> Index Management) and select all the

Indexes > Pick action is “Reindex data” > and the press “submit” button.

The search will start working.

If not then use the following process :-

Go to Path app/code/core/mage/catalogsearch/block/result.php step 1 ) Uncomment lines 149 and 150

$this->getListBlock() ->setCollection($this->_getProductCollection());

Modify the line 172

change this line $this->_productCollection = $this->getListBlock()->getLoadedProductCollection();

to

$this->_productCollection = Mage::getSingleton(‘catalogsearch/layer’)->getProductCollection();

when you will fix your code, goto the admin panel (System -> Index Management) and select all the

Indexes > Pick action is “Reindex data” > and the press “submit” button.

Search will surely start working.

Try to reindex catalog search results. If this doesn't work check your catalogsearch.xml file. You must have this block in left/right column for catalogsearch_result_index page

<block type="catalogsearch/layer" name="catalogsearch.leftnav" after="currency" template="catalog/layer/view.phtml"/>

For better search result I use this extension: http://extensions.activo.com/catalog-search-refinement.html
