Rewrite search url in wordpress

3 comments

1. Simply way

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

   You can use wordpress redirect functions

2. Try this code in your .htaccess:

   Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
   # Turn mod_rewrite on
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   
   RewriteRule ^search/(.+)$ /?s=&post_type=schools&general_search=1&general_search_term=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
   

   EDIT:

   # BEGIN WordPress
   <IfModule mod_rewrite.c>
   Options +FollowSymLinks -MultiViews
   RewriteEngine On
   RewriteBase /
   RewriteRule ^search/(.+)$ /?s=&post_type=schools&general_search=1&general_search_term=$1 [L,QSA,NC]
   
   RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} !200
   RewriteRule ^index.php$ - [L]
   
   RewriteCond %{ENV:REDIRECT_STATUS} !200
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-f
   RewriteCond %{REQUEST_FILENAME} !-d
   RewriteRule . /index.php [L]
   </IfModule>
   # END WordPress

3. This worked for me.

   http://wpengineer.com/2258/change-the-search-url-of-wordpress/

   # search redirect
   # this will take anything in the query string, minus any extraneous values, and turn     them into a clean working url
   RewriteCond %{QUERY_STRING} \?s=([^&]+) [NC]
   RewriteRule ^$ /search/%1/? [NC,R,L]
   

   Dont forget to add anything before /search/ to match the url you have.
