simple search stopped working

I have a project that used to work well with the simple search but now I get the following error whenever I try a simple search
Error: 'documents.forms.frmSearch.a' is null or not an object
I found another post with the same issue and it was solved by recreating the <forms> section but I'm not sure I follow what happened or how to fix it.
I have posted the application in my demo account with the same results.
Can you help?

Update... As often happens, I kept trying things after posting this question and I now understand how the other user solved this problem and I mimiked her solution.
For each _list page that included search capabilities the <FORM>.....</FORM> tag had mysteriously dissappeared. I had saved a previous version of this application so I copied the <FORM> tag section and pasted it into the current version of the application for each _list page.
Now it works fine!
I guess I will never know why the <FORM> tag dissappeared but I'm pretty sure it happened when I added a header.asp to my application.
