Search not working all of a sudden

    The search function on my site has suddenly stopped working. I don’t even know where to begin looking for the problem. It just redirects me to index.php. If I manually query with index.php?s=Thunderbird&submit=Search or something like that it works perfectly.
    Any ideas?

    Are you sure you have your search bar in your index.php? Did you delete any lines?

    By default, WordPress uses PHP_SELF for the search function. The problem is that if you put the search form on another page, it tries to search that page.
    I might have changed around the search form a bit, but locate where said form is in your template.
    Replace the first line of the search form with this:
    <form id="searchform" method="get" action="<?php get_settings('siteurl') ?>">
    This will search only where your blog is located, in this case index.php.
