Few days back I was working on Magento theme design and faced a very rare issue. The issue we faced was magento newsletter subscription not working  in Magento theme which is by default provided with the bundle of Magento.

I took few steps to make it working and found out many solutions which can work for you.

Here are few steps you should take and check before you make a final call to change the coding:-

Step : 1

Open  app/design/frontend/smartwave/You_templet/template/newsletter/subscribe.phtml

Step 2 :

Relapse with

<form action=”<?php echo $this->getFormActionUrl() ?>” method=”post” id=”newsletter-validate-detail” onsubmit=”setNewsletterCookie()”>

to

<form action=”<?php echo $this->getUrl(‘newsletter/subscriber/new’, array(‘_secure’ => true)) ?>” method=”post” id=”newsletter-validate-detail” onsubmit=”setNewsletterCookie()”>

Step 3 : 

Log in to your magento admin and go to System -> Cache Management and then flush your magento cache

I hope this is able to solve your problem. If still your magento search is not working, kindly let me know and i will help you out.
