Am i wrong in thinking i can access the search page by using /search/ ? I've created the files search.php & searchpage.php but /search/ still returns 404?

I want to customise the page a bit...

best, Dan.

You should be able to access search pages via search/foo as well as ?s=foo. This search rewrite rule is built in into WP since version 1.5. I tested it and it works.

As for the template files, you will need search.php, searchpage.php is not used.

You can not access search page like this.To access search page you have to enter your blog name in URL box of browser followed by ?s= any search keyword.

Example : 

http://localhost/wordpress/?s=video

ok - so i'll just have to create a file page-search.php and create a page called search in the admin to create a custom page then. Cheers... Dc – daniel Crabbe Mar 27 '12 at 9:21
