WordPress-powered URLs ending in /search/foo (where “foo” is your search term) now work the same way as the old-school format of index.php?s=foo. They’re cleaner, more intuitive, and darned easier on the eyes.

The only problem? The search form included in most templates produces old-school URLs instead of the newer ones. Thankfully, there’s a simple, elegant workaround using the WordPress WP_Query class.
