Site in question: http://www.librarygrrrl.net/index.php
When I enter a search into the search box on the top right of the page, it sends a query but then redirects back to index.php and gives no results.
http://www.librarygrrrl.net/?s=hockey redirects right back to
http://www.librarygrrrl.net/index.php
I have changed themes, disabled all my plugins and re-enabled them one-by-one, and this issue still persists. I've replaced the search code in my header.php file with the searchform.php file in the default and the same redirect to index.php happens. I've searched in the forums and have found one post that seems like it could make my life much better if I could get my search to send a query the way it is formatted: http://wordpress.org/support/topic/207270
For exmaple, these both work, while the search query above does not. http://www.librarygrrrl.net/index.php?s=hockey&submit=search and http://www.librarygrrrl.net/index.php?s=hockey
I think this means that my search.php page is working correctly. But how do I get my searchform to include index.php in what it passes as a query?
Does anyone have any idea what could be going on? I'm really confused!
I see you have the wordpress installation in a sub directory ..
How did you include the search form in your template ?

The search form (or the code that replicates what's in most searchform.php files) is included in the header.php file. This is what that code looks like:
<form id="searchform2" method="get" action="<?php bloginfo('home'); ?>">
<input type="text" onfocus="doClear(this)" value="<?php _e('search'); ?>" name="s" id="s" size="18" /> <input type="submit" value="<?php _e('Go'); ?>" />
</form>
Could this be my issue?
NO/// this is not the issue, but I think I understand what the issue is ...
In your wordpress general setting, where it say
Blog address (URL)
do you have
http://www.librarygrrrl.net/
or
http://www.librarygrrrl.net/index.php
you should have the first one (with no index.php)
in the WordPress address (URL) you should have
'http://www.librarygrrrl.net/wordpress/'
(or at least this is where i saw your real install was)

Thanks krembo99. That's a good hunch, but my settings are correct -
blog address: http://www.librarygrrrl.net
and
wordpress address: http://www.librarygrrrl.net/wordpress
Do you (krembo99) or anyone else have other suggestions or places to look? For some reason, I *want* to blame this on my permalinks. Does that hunch ring any bells?
I continue to be moderately puzzled.

Hi - have you managed to fix this yet? - i'm having the exact same problem? http://www.newirelandlimousines.com/?s=touring
I had this problem and below is what fixed mine.
line 124 -> wp-includes/general-template.php
change
$form = '<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="' . get_option('home') . '/" >
to
$form = '<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="/index.php" >
