 * Hi,
 * WordPress is currently having issues with some other functionality in some different
   software, which i am trying to merge together.
 * Is there any possible way to alter the wordpress system to not recognise “.com/?
   s=” as a search term for the site?
 * I still ideally want the search functionality, but simply with a different string
   so that it doesnt clash with another url with the same “?s=” beginning.
 * Ive seen ways you can make the search more “pretty” so it displays as “.com/search/
   term” but this doesnt stop the “?s=” from working does it…?
 * I hope that makes sense. and any help is appreciated.
 * Thanks,
