When a user tries to search on my website they get a very long and confusing URL structure, http://www.kimstewart.ca/?s=test&submit.x=30&submit.y=12&submit=Search
How can I fix this and make it so that it:
A) Only searches in my Blog (posts only, no pages)
B) Adds "blog" directly after my domain in the URL (this will add the tab highlight)
C) Removes that "&submit.x=30&submit.y=12&submit=Search" and replaces it with something a little more SEO friendly.
Well these are actually different matters, Questions B and C are for the URL and Question A is for WordPress 2.6 configuration. Anyways, any help is greatly appreciated!
Thanks!

A) A mod to do that: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/176278
B) You can do that in your permalink settings
C) That should not be happening unless you are either running a plugin that is doing something with search results, or your theme file has custom search code for some reason.

Hey Dagon,
Thanks for the reply :-)
A) I checked out http://wordpress.org/support/topic/176278 and jsdalton gave some useful code which I have included, but pagination seems to be an issue as he states... hopefully a solution for that is in the works.
B) I have actually already set my permalinks to Custom Structure "/blog/%postname%/" - My website is completely WordPress driven so this differentiates the main site pages from the blog. Unfortunately this doesn't seem to fix the URL structure.
C) I must have some weird code running on my site. I have removed the default WP Header, and replaced it with my own code. Could this be why? I will do some more investigating...
Cheers,
