# Search function permalinks – /search/

 *  [boon_](https://wordpress.org/support/users/boon_/)

 * [17 years, 2 months ago](https://wordpress.org/support/topic/search-function-permalinks-search/)
 * I’ve set my search form up as follows using…
 * `<form id="searchform" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>" method="get"
   >`
 * …and have search.php in place.
 * This works fine **but** the results page functions under `/index.php?s=test`
 * How can I change the search so it works as `/search/test/` etc. the same as my
   other “pretty” permalinks?
 * Also, when the search box is empty and it’s submitted – I get only `?s=` – without
   index.php. This causes a different page (the absolute root) to show as my site
   is located in `/home/` for now.
 * Can anyone help?
 * Thanks a lot
