Thanks, that was exactly what I was looking for. However, I'm having one problem. I used the Kludge method from the page http://meta.wikimedia.org/wiki/Using_a_very_short_URL and it seems to be working okay, except for one thing: Searches don't work.

Whenever I run a search, it tells me it's a badly formed search query. I believe the reason is that the search form is POSTing to /Special:Search instead of /index.php/Special:Search. If I add in the index.php manually, it works fine.

Any idea why this is, and how I can fix it? If nothing, could someone point me to the file that prints the Search box so I can manually change the form action?

Thanks.

I know I've read somewhere about how to use Apache to get rid of the index.php in URLs i.e. changing http://wiki/index.php/Main_Page to http://wiki/Main_Page. I can't seem to find that page again. Can someone point me to that article or describe the RewriteRules required to accomplish this?

Thanks.
