   Any clues as to why a search should go straight back to the index.php page?

   I have got a search.php template. Permalinks have index.php/title-of-post/ format.

   Could it be .htaccess? The format of .htaccess is

   <Files .htaccess>
   
   order allow,deny
   
   deny from all
   
   </Files>
   
   Redirect 301 /index.html http://www.mysite.com/index.php
   Redirect 301 /novelsmain.html http://www.mysite.com/blah.php
   AddHandler server-parsed .htm .html
   ErrorDocument 403 /cgi-bin/advlogger/error.cgi?403
   ErrorDocument 404 /cgi-bin/advlogger/error.cgi?404
   ErrorDocument 500 /cgi-bin/advlogger/error.cgi?500
   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   
   # END WordPress

   Any ideas greatly appreciated.

   ok, it's the redirects that do it, so it's the .htaccess

   I removed the redirects after trying repositioning, rewriting them in different formats etc.

   I haven't tried this but it looks good - http://urbangiraffe.com/plugins/redirection/

   It works!

   Without touching the .htaccess file either
