# index.html

 * i’ve solved my problem of having a splash page (index.html) before entering the
   wordpress environment (index.php) via this post [http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224098/page/2?replies=35](http://wordpress.org/support/topic/224098/page/2?replies=35)
   which worked great but now my search doesn’t work. I’m guessing because it wants
   to load the root page to run the search, which then loads the splash page again.
   i tried to create a searchform.php after my search.php was not working. But still
   no. maybe i can put something in the .htaccess?
    htaccess =
 * DirectoryIndex redirect.htm
 * # protect wpconfig at all cost
    <files wp-config.php> Order deny,allow deny from
   all
 * </files>
 * # BEGIN WordPress
    <IfModule mod_rewrite.c> RewriteEngine On RewriteBase / RewriteCond%{
   REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d RewriteRule . /index.
   php [L] </IfModule>
 * # END WordPress
 * any ideas???
    thanks
