Well, only the author of what lives at index.php will know for sure,
but your URL does not precisely match the action attribute of the
form element.

Again, only the author of index.php would know for sure but passing in
'3' where the word 'number' is expected in the searchtype field may
lead to your lack of joy.
Not passing in any value for 'query' might also be causing grief.

Computer software consists of only two components: ones and
zeros, in roughly equal proportions. All that is required is to
place them into the correct order.
