    I am getting a 404 error on the search results page. It is unfortunately due to the use of ‘s’ as a get variable. ‘s’ is a reserved term which WordPress rejects under certain configurations, but being a reserved term, this cannot be controlled.

    Unfortunately, ‘search’ is also reserved! Perhaps ‘cse’ or ‘gsc’ instead?

    Please let me know if this can be fixed.

    Sincerely,
    Dan

    Maybe this is controlled by our Google settings? Hmmmm…

    Yes, nevermind, this was a custom setting for us. Hopefully this can help others seeing 404 errors on the results page. Here is the list of reserved query parameters:

    Google CSE uses ‘q’ parameter, not ‘s’.

    ‘s’ parameter is used by the standard WordPress search function, which is independent of the Google search.

    Are you sure, that Google search box is inserted on your site?
    Use WP Google Search widget or use [wp_google_searchbox] shortcode to place search box on your site.
