 * WP search function no longer returns WP related blogs/topics but defaults to 
   the website’s [main pages](http://www.vitalitymobilemassage.com/news/)/index 
   page only.
 * This error crossed version upgrades.

 * Anyone? Anyone with an idea for a scripting error that won’t search blog archives
   and defaults instead to the main site index?

 * Your search form’s action attribute has this for a value:
 *     ```
       action="/index.php"
       ```
   
 * Change it to:
 *     ```
       action="/news/index.php"
       ```

 * A heads up that the plugin Event Calendar (firetree.net) throws all searches 
   out of whack. It has other issues as well; the plugin author is non-communicative.
   And what a shame; that plugin had promise.
 * Just thought I’d let you know.
