i am successfully running 3.2.1 with suffusion 3.9.2 - search works fine with (or without) the relevanssi plugin.
i upgraded to 3.3.1 / 3.9.2 - if i am logged in as admin, search works fine. if i am not logged in, search always takes me back to the home page.
where would i begin to look to see where it has gone into the weeds?
thanks,

Probably something to do with your plugin. I can see it running fine on the theme's home page without logging in.
thanks for the speedy reply... i forgot to mention that i did the "deactivate all plugins" thing and got the same result. i have a small number of changes to 3.9.6, mostly in the styling department, so i must have botched something there...
rather amusing: when you ask better-wp-security to filter suspicious query strings, it adds some rules to .htaccess. specifically,
...
RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} ^.*(\[|\]|\(|\)|<|>|ê|"|;|\?|\*|=$).* [NC,OR]
...
RewriteCond %{HTTP_COOKIE} !^.*wordpress_logged_in_.*$
RewriteRule ^(.*)$ - [F,L]
strips the query string (unless you're the admin) because
http://.../?s=missions&searchsubmit=
has an '='
and... i offer sincere apologies to sayontan for putting the blame on suffusion...
sorry!

sorry!
No worries - we are all learning!
