Hi
I have enabled the "mod rewrite" option under "Options > General > URL Options" and for he most part everything works as expected. Unfortunately enabling this option breaks my search.
I have assigned the tag "Test Tag" to a single album and 6 images.
When I search for "Test Tag" with "mod rewrite" enabled nothing will show. However, if I disable this option and search for "Test Tag" the album and 6 images show as intended.
I checked the debug log but there are no entries logged for today.
My site can be found here: southsmuseumofpostcards.nz
Any help with this would be greatly appreciated.

I have set the "cache expiry" option to 0 and enabled the "cacheManager" plugin, I then used the "purge search cache" option.
Unfortunately the search still returns no results.
I noticed the search works (even with mod_rewrite enabled) if I type the keywords into the URL manually, for example:
After submitting a search the URL is:
https://southsmuseumofpostcards.nz/page/search
The above returns no results. If I change the URL to this:
https://southsmuseumofpostcards.nz/page/search/%22test%20tag%22
The album and images are displayed.
I'm not sure if this will be helpful in finding out why my search isn't working but I thought I'd mention it just in case.

I think something might not be right on your site. I assume you have the correct 'htaccess' file and your server really supports modrewrite.
On using the search I shortly see the url `https://southsmuseumofpostcards.nz/index.php?p=search` before it switches to the actualy `https://southsmuseumofpostcards.nz/page/search`.
That's the correct url without modrewrite but if you have modrewrite this should never happen.
A few general things to try:
- Disable https
- Check the search field options
- Try a official theme
- check error logs

Thank-you very much for your help, I found the problem and now the search works.
There was a problem with my search form's action which was still pointing to "index.php?p=search" even if "mod_rewrite" was enabled. I added a check to change the action depending on whether or not "mod_rewrite" is enabled and it now works as expected.
Thanks again for your help
