RWD Theme - Search not being executed on front page

[d_brane]

Hi,

Having a slight problem with the RWD theme. Using any other theme search is working perfectly. With RWD theme, if i enter something in the searchfield and press enter/click on the search-icon, nothing happens. It seems like there is not event being send at all. As soon as I select a category, the search field works perfectly. 

So this happens only on the default front page, and only with the RWD theme. I'm using 1.9.0.1CE.

Have been looking for some time, but can't seem to isolate the order. I tried switching out the catalogsearch.xml, with one from another theme, but that didnt help either. It just seems like the 'submit'-action is never being send, but only the front page.

Happy for any help! Thanks!
