“advanced search” shown on front page but no input boxes are shown Magento ver. 1.9.3.2

Question

I followed Maris post .

I copied the C:\xampp\htdocs\m1\app\design\frontend\base\default\template‌​\catalogsearch\advan‌​ced\form.phtml

to C:\xampp\htdocs\m1\app\design\frontend\base\default\templat‌​e\catalogsearch\adva‌​nced\home_form.phtml

To show on home page i used ( am i wrong here )

 <reference name="content">
    <block type="core/template" name="customname" template="catalogsearch/advanced/custom_form.phtml"/>
    </reference>

On Home Page Only Heading and search button is shown. When i click on search button it redirects me to http://websitename.com/catalogsearch/advanced/

Can any one see where i am doing wrong.

Thank You.
