ok, I think it is because your theme has a search with the same name.
Try this
create a directory on your theme called ‘bbpress’
ie wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress
where %your-theme-name% is the name of your theme
find
wp-content/plugins/bbpress/templates/default/bbpress/form-search.php
Make a copy of this file, and put in in the directory called bbpress that you created above, so you end up with
wp-content/themes/%your-theme-name%/bbpress/form-search.php
bbPress will now use this template instead of your theme’s

There is I think a couple of search related issues you could have.
Robin has put out a possible solution to one of them.
It is hard to know what is the possible issue you are having from what you provided. Try explaining the issue more the best you can.
If English is not your native language, maybe write a reply in your native language.
Images explaining your issue can really help as well.

, Thank you. I did as you advised, but it also does not work.

By clicking on the search button on the forum is redirected to the index site. and the search takes place.
What theme are you using?
EDIT: Forgot that I did make this guide for a user experiencing a similar issue.

Although this might help, I would like to know your theme just in case it doesn’t so I could do some troubleshooting.
If its not the theme, we have to do some plugin troubleshooting.
