Custom Search Result Page displaying only 1 result.

I’m trying to build a custom search results page. The problem I’m running into is that when I enter a search term ; say ‘gaming’, it will only return one result, being the latest result. I have my blog setup to display only one article at a time. However, I found a way to circumvent the search results page by logging into wp-admin -> settings -> reading -> and changing the blog page displays one post to say for example 10.

Then when I try searching for gaming it returns more than one result (it’ll give me 10). However, I don’t want this. I want my sites blog page to only show one article, and the results page to display more than one result. How can I go about fixing this?

This is what my search.php looks like. I created a searchpage.php and am including it using PHP to grab the search.php

Thanks! 🙂

    <!-- SEARCH PAGE -->
    <div id="search-results" class="wrapper" role="search">

<!-- COUNT RESULTS -->
<div class="results">
    <?php
    /* Search Count */
    $allsearch = &new WP_Query("s=$s&showposts=-1"); 
    $key = wp_specialchars($s, 1);
    $count = $allsearch->post_count; 
    _e('');
    _e('"<span class="search-terms">');
    echo $key;
    _e('</span>"'); 
    _e(' &mdash; found ');
    echo $count . ' '; 
    _e('articles');
    wp_reset_query(); ?>
