On my website, I have the Smart Search module enabled. A search box does appear on my website, but when I try to search, I am getting a warning:

Not Found

The requested URL /public_html/component/finder/search was not found on this server.

I have all plugins enabled that have anything to do with Smart Search. As said, the module is enabled too. I think it is a silly 'wrong button' I pressed. Can anyone help out? Thanks in advance!

Edit: not only is this problem occurring in the search component, but it also occurs in all the other components (like ads and simple search). So it might be a general problem.

Edit: @Elin The problem is that when the component has to take action (e.g. when I click on a advertisement or do a search), the 'Not Found'-error occurs. So, I can't do a search, or click an ad, or anything else. The modules work fine, but if the component has to take action, it goes wrong.

Can you define "this problem"? is it that same message? Are you using a SEF extension? Are menu links okay? - Elin

The answer is the mod-rewrite. I turned that function on, forgetting that mod_rewrite does not work on my virtual server (MAMP). Thanks for your comment @Elin!
