   I wish to provide links to predefined search result pages. Would anybody be able to share the rewrite rule to use?

   I want my URLs to look like:

   http://www.mysite.com/some-folder/search-term/ and
   http://www.mysite.com/some-folder/search-term/2/ (for paginated results)

   ...instead of:

   http://www.mysite.com/?s=Search+Term (note: the use of title case is intentional, but I want the rewritten URL in lowercase)

   Thanks in advance!

   [BTW, I am using WP 2.1.2]

   There's two steps involved. First, you need to create the htaccess rules. Then, you'll need to make it so the search form points to the desired location. Since you ask only about the first, I'll assume you have the second covered.

   Try pasting something like this into your htaccess:

   RewriteRule /some-folder/(.*)/?(.*) WORDPRESS/?s=$1&paged=$2

   Obviously, replace WORDPRESS with your path to wordpress. And that should all be on one line, not wrapped like it shows up here.

   adamrbrown: How would I go about the second part? I'm looking at searchform.php right now and I can't work it out.

   Cheers,
   Robert

   Any chance of having WordPress' permalink for search as http://www.mysite.com/<KEYWORDS>?

   Where <KEYWORDS> would be the keywords.

   Ex: http://www.mysite.com/wordpress+plugins

   Not really. It will be
   example.com?s=wordpress+plugins

   Actually I found a plugin (called "Search Permalink") that does the trick without touching the .htaccess file.

   Problem is that WP returns 404 not found thinking I'm looking for an static page...

   thinking I'm looking for an static page...
   That's exactly why it will not work.
