--------------------------+-----------------------------
 Was on WP 3.2.1 and upgraded to 3.3.1. Immediately started experiencing
 problems with WP intercepting page urls such as: www.mydomain.com/search
 /advanced-search.html, or any other url whose first level folder was
 /search/. This is a valid folder and url set on my real estate site, and
 it all worked fine in 3.2.1. But WP 3.3.1 redirected to some kind of
 search process, and returned summaries of various pages on the site. As a
 test, I located and renamed the search.php in my theme folder. After that,
 the content and formatting of the results changed, but it still
 incorrectly redirected to some kind of search process, probably the WP
 core search since the one in the theme folder had been renamed. During
 this entire process, no other changes were made. The exact same plugins
 were installed and active, and no changes were made to .htaccess.
 .htaccess was reviewed, and there were no redirects that could have caused
 this. No redirect or site search plugins were ever installed or active. I
 re-installed WP 3.2.1 core files and all of the improper redirecting to
 search issues went away. Did 3.3.1 have some kind of new internal rewrite
 rules regarding when/how to do a site search? Affected site is
 www.denverhomevalue.com.
