   Hi

   I have a widget for a custom search form on my website as the following (which definitely worked in 2010)

   <form method="get" id="search_form" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>/">
   <p>Search for: <input type="text" class="search_input" value="searchstring"
   name="s" id="s" /></p>
   <input type="submit" id="searchsubmit" value="Search" />
   </form>

   The problem is that the URL I get is
   http://www.mydomain.com/<?s=searchstring

   which does not work because of the '<'

   http://www.mydomain.com/?s=searchstring

   works fine but I cannot figure out why the '<' is being added.

   <form method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url(); ?>">
   <div>
   <label for="s" class="offset"><?php _e('Keyword(s)');?></label> <input class="text" type="text" value=" " name="s" id="s" />
   <input type="submit" class="submit button" name="submit" value="<?php _e('Search');?>" />
   </div>
   </form>
