 * When the wordpress search returns no results, it redirects to the homepage of
   the site.
 * When I deactivate total widget control it works fine.
    Anyone experience with
   that?

 * I plan on doing some fixes this Saturday, march 12 2011. I’ll look into this,
   what search are you referring to? The widget list search, the wp-admin search
   or the front end search?

 * Hi,
 * I meant the front end search, tried it on a clean wordpress installation. No 
   issues there, so i guess the problem is in this particular blog I’m building.
 * Still strange though
 * I’ll let you now if I find anything

 * I just tested the admin, front end and the widget list. had one issue with the
   widget list that I fixed. The others worked fine.
 * If you want to email me with access credentials I can go test it out on the blog
   that you’re having problems with.

 * hi John,
 * I don’t want to give you credentials because its a live corporate site.
 * I’m trying to make a copy of the installation but unfortunate, the issues don’t
   occur there. I think it has to do with headers already sent. the page not found
   functionality is not working either.

 * I run my development server on error_reporting strict so that I code very valid
   code. I also continuously check on sending data to the buffer before it’s time.
   Not to say that I didn’t miss something, but it’s not likely to have that kind
   of error in this plugin.
 * Hmm… and you disabled all of the other plugins already..
 * Did you change the theme and test again? I wonder if it’s a conflict between 
   twc and your theme. Is your search a widget?

 * It meant no one but you (and the forum mods) could see your posts! Sometimes 
   the spam catcher gets over exuberant.

 * Awh! I was thinking it could have meant that, but wasn’t sure. Thank you for 
   fixing that.
