Ok, solved the issue for myself.

The copy on the host was submitting to the wrong page. It was suppose to submit to the /search/ page but it went else where but because the GET variable term was set, and wordpress could not find the page it was trying to submit to it redirected to the /search/ page so I was seeing the page I was expecting to see but I was getting there indirectly.

Ok so I fixed the form submission. It now submits to /search/ and it works fine. Unfortunately this doesn’t help people who expect a redirect to take place.

So locally from the home page if I type in “this that” in the search. It will send a request GET /?term=this+that “200” and then I am redirected to /search/?term=this+that

But on the hosted copy I get a request: GET /?term=this+that “301”
then a request: GET /search/?term=thisthat “200”.

I would guess that it is the permalink redirect that is causing the problem.

I am having the same problem and at the moment I have determined that there is an internal redirect that is happening that is causing the GET variable to have it’s spaces stripped.

I have a local copy that works fine. It uses permalinks. The exact hosted copy is having the problem. Using firebug I can see on the hosted copy there is a request for: GET /search/?term=this+that

Then there is a second request: GET /search/?term=thisthat
right after the first request.

Locally this doesn’t happen.

I’m still investigating.
