WordPress Search - Get_Template_Part

Question

Hi,

My search.php file makes reference to a function call of:

    <?php
    /* Run the loop for the search to output the results.
     * If you want to overload this in a child theme then include a file
     * called loop-search.php and that will be used instead.
     */
         get_template_part( 'loop', 'search' );
    ?>

which all seems to work fine with bringing back my search results but I also want to display my sidebar and footer sections but this get_template_part seems to override it.

Any ideas how to still display both my sidebar and footer info within the search.php file result page?

It seems to have it's own div section as my sidebar either appears above or below result set.

Thanks.

Use a custom WP Query (retrieve only pages given in a specific array) similar to this one:

<?php
$args=array(
   'post_type'=>'page',
   'post__in' => array('595', '33', 44)
);
$the_query = new WP_Query($args);
?>
