Post Search doesnt work when register page is set to homepage

[tislam100]

The Post Search function is not working when register page is set to homepage.

Go to Settings> Reading and set the "Register Page" as custom front page and then try to search posts using the default search form and it takes you back to home page.

The members/groups search works fine though.
Tested with Buddypress 1.5.3 and Wordpress Version 3.3.1
Using the default buddypress theme.

Tested this just now again with a default Buddypress/wordpress installation. The BUG exist.

Possible fix:
Replace this line in the search form:

<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo home_url( '/' ); ?>">

with this:

<form role="search" method="get" id="searchform" action="<?php echo $_SERVER['PHP_SELF']; ?>">

This works for me when I set the "Post page" to something on the same form. Without it set, I saw the behaviour you described.

hmm... So if we set a register page as homepage, we will have to set the post page too, even if I don't want to?
