## Description

Search Fixer makes “pretty” search links work properly. A pretty search link usually
looks like this:
 http://example.com/search/waldo Because of a bug in WordPress,
pretty search links with spaces in them do not work. Search Fixer fixes that bug.

If you use [Search Meter](https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-meter/)‘s 
widgets, you should install Search Fixer too.

#### Technical details

The bug is [WordPress bug 13961](https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13961). 
This prevents “pretty” search URLs from working properly. For example, http://example.
com/search/hello%20world should search the example.com blog for the words “hello”
and “world”, but because of the bug it actually searches for “hello%20world” and
fails to find anything.

When the WordPress bug is fixed (probably sometime in 2011) Search Fixer will no
longer be necessary. I will keep Search Fixer up to date so it won’t interfere when
the WordPress bug gets fixed.

## Installation

Simply install and activate through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.

If you want to install manually, upload `search-fixer.php` to the `/wp-content/plugins/`
directory and then activate the plugin through the ‘Plugins’ menu in WordPress.
