If Pretty Permalinks on, enforce /search/ URL

[Viper007Bond]

If Pretty Permalinks are on, we should redirect ?s=foobar to /search/foobar/ like we do with posts.

Wouldn't that make every possible search redirect (and thus cause every search to actually happen twice)? Because you can't build an HTTP form that makes /search/foobar/ GET requests.

Not if you catch it early enough before it queries anything..

Thats a good point however, A small oneline of JS can be used to achieve that though. A extra page request per search isnt that much of a performance hit IMO, just as long as the redirect functions hook early enough.

this would only work with js enabled. we'd need to search form to change the window.location to home_url/search/foo

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

should only work, even.

Possibly fixed, or solution found in r13483?

[Denis-de-Bernardy]

looks as good as it'll get, yeah. trying to redirect urls on actual searches is a bit nuts. :-)
