Search Meter

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 <a href="https://wordpress.org/extend/plugins/search-meter/" rel="ugc">Search Meter</a>‘s widgets, you should install Search Fixer too.
<h4>Technical details</h4>
The bug is <a href="https://core.trac.wordpress.org/ticket/13961" rel="nofollow ugc">WordPress bug 13961</a>. 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.
