Search page does not show the search results in WordPress

I have a searchform.php file which contains the following code:

<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">
<div><label class="screen-reader-text" for="s">Search for</label>
<input type="text" value="" name="s" id="s" />
<input type="submit" id="searchsumit" value="Search" />
</div>

Also in my index.php I've inserted this code: 

<div class="search">
    <?php get_search_form(); ?>
</div>

Now When I search for something I get no results. Therefore I added a search.php file to show the results in it but I still don't get the results. What kind of changes should be made? Or what piece of code is lacking?

Note that I want to show the results in a separate page which must be search.php in Wordpress.

You need to add search.php file inside the theme and in that you will need to add the view for the search result page and the result can be obtained by looping for e.g

 while(have_posts() ) : the_post(); 
//here is your data
endwhile;
