Search log doubles with url rewrite

    Hi, lovely plugin!

    I’m using this snippet to rewrite my search URLs to something more tasty:

    function search_url_rewrite_rule() {
    if ( is_search() && !empty($_GET['s'])) {
        wp_redirect(home_url("/search/") . urlencode(get_query_var('s')));
        exit();
    }
}
add_action('template_redirect', 'search_url_rewrite_rule');

    I’m also logging user queries. The problem I’m having is that with this rewrite in place, each time a user makes a query, 2 identical queries get logged. Without the rewrite in place, only 1 query gets logged (i.e. correct behaviour).

    Can you suggest a way I can use my redirect and log the correct number of queries?

    Sorry, no idea – with that redirect, you’re essentially running the search twice. Not good for logging, or for general site performance. Aren’t those pretty permalinks a default feature of WordPress anyway? At least on all my sites URLs like https://www.example.com/search/search+term works just fine.

    Yeah I figured as much with the double search. I’ve simply removed the script, it was just a nicety, not essential. Thanks.
