   Hi,

   I've decided to try something a little different with WordPress. That is, have all pages relative to / whilst moving the main 'blog' area to a folder, eg. /blog/

   I've used the reference on Pages in the WP Codex to get the new index working and all appears to work well, until you search.

   For a start, searching by default goes to
   /?s=search

   I have changed that, by modifying the template, to
   /blog/?s=search

   But that returns 404 errors every time.

   However,
   /blog/index.php?s=search
   works. Huh?

   I added in an echo at the top of the /blog/index.php file, and the 404 page is being thrown by the /blog/index.php file... but why /blog/?s=blah does not work and /blog/index.php?s=blah does, is unclear to me.

   Any thoughts on the matter would be appreciated :)

   Thanks.

   Update:

   /blog/?s=blah

   has this added condition: AND (ID = '157')
   in the database SELECT query condition (amongst other differences), whereas

   /blog/index.php?s=blah

   does not.

   I wonder why? Time to go a huntin'.

   Update #2: Getting warm.

   When /blog/?s=blah is viewed, the db query ($q, bad variable naming guys :P ) uses Array ( [s] => blah [pagename] => thoughts )

   But when /blog/index.php?s=blah is viewed, the db query does not have the pagename.

   Hmm... the plot thickens.
