Possible to redirect search results URL?

    I am having an issue with the search function on my site, where an extra carrot character is added to the search results URL, i.e. http://mysite.com/<?s=searchterm. The result is a 404 page every time a search is performed. If I manually remove the carrot, the search results for the term are displayed properly.

    Since I can’t figure out how to get rid of the extra character (suggestions welcome!), is there a way to set up a redirect that takes searchers to the proper URL for results? How would I set up a dynamic redirect for the search results URL extension?

    Have you edited any theme files? Perhaps search.php?

    It would be best to isolate the issue.

    To do so, to test, deactivate all plugins, switch to default unedited theme and see if you have the same results.

    If that fixed it, activate theme and test. Then plugins one at a time, test – to isolate what is causing this.

    Report back if none of the above helped isolate the issue.
