Form submit button not working in bootstrap modal window

Question

I have been trying to make this work but the submit button is not working at all.

The bootstrap modal window I am using is:

<div class="modal fade" id="search" tabindex="-1" role="dialog" aria-labelledby="myModalLabel" aria-hidden="true">
    <div class="modal-dialog">
        <div class="modal-header">
            <a class="close" data-dismiss="modal">×</a>
            <h4><span class="fa fa-search"></span> Search Anything...</h4>
        </div>          
        <form name='searchdata' action="webarch/search.php" method="post" id="form1">
        <div class="modal-body">
                <div class="input-with-icon success-control"> 
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="form1Amount" name="searchvalue" placeholder="Search in users or #hashtags"><br/>
                    <button type="submit" name='user_search' form="form1" id="user_search" value='user' class="btn btn-danger btn-cons"><i class="fa fa-user"></i> User</button>
                    <button type="submit" name='tag_search' form="form1" value='tag' class="btn btn-default"><i class="fa fa-tag"></i> Tags</button>

                </div>  
        </div>          
        </form> 
    </div>
</div>

Whenever I click the submit buttons, nothing happens and the form doesn't post the values. Let me know how to make this work.

Try this using javascript. It worked for me:

 <form name='searchdata' id="search_form" action="search.php" method="get">
                <div class="input-with-icon success-control">  
                    <input type="text" class="form-control" id="form1Amount"     name="searchvalue" placeholder="Search in users or #hashtags"><br/>
                </div>  
                <button onclick="form_submit()" name='user_search' value='user' class="btn btn-danger"><i class="fa fa-user"></i> User</button>
                <button onclick="form_submit()" name='tag_search' value='tag' class="btn btn-default"><i class="fa fa-tag"></i> Tags</button>           
        </form> 

  <script type="text/javascript">
  function form_submit() {
    document.getElementById("search_form").submit();
   }    
  </script>
