Magento search result redirects to the same page with a 302 Moved Temporarily

Question

Everytime I try to search something with either the mini or advanced search form of Magento 1.7 I get not just nothing but a redirection 302.

I've spent the whole day looking for someone who had solved the same issue with no success.

And when I try http://**.net/catalogsearch/result/ redirects me to the homepage.

Update: When I change the form method to POST it works, but I need it working with GET.

1. you first need to check in related controller( ResultController Mage_CatalogSearch_ResultController ) indexAction function whether that code is getting executed or not.

If not then you need to check your .htaccess file
