Make Search and Archives match homepage - php

Question

I have my homepage http://www.faberunashop.com set up as a directory. When you click on the post image, it takes you over to the artists site. Here is the code that I used to make this happen by adding it to the functions.php:
function print_post_title() {
global $post;
$thePostID = $post->ID;
$post_id = get_post($thePostID);
$title = $post_id->post_title;
$perm = get_permalink($post_id);
$post_keys = array(); $post_val = array();
$post_keys = get_post_custom_keys($thePostID);
if (!empty($post_keys)) {
foreach ($post_keys as $pkey) {
if ($pkey=='url1' || $pkey=='title_url' || $pkey=='url_title') {
$post_val = get_post_custom_values($pkey);
}
}
if (empty($post_val)) {
$link = $perm;
} else {
$link = $post_val[0];
}
} else {
$link = $perm;
}
echo '<h2>'.$title.'</h2>';
}
Now I want to do the same to my search and archive page. What do I adjust to make them behave the same?

Answer 1

I suppose that you use WordPress.
In that case you can change the layout and the behavior of your search results by creating a file with name search.php into your theme for your search results, and another file for archives that called archives.php.
