Check to see if this is theme specific or see if changing the forum search slug is causing this.

The link didn’t help… 🙁
When I do a search in BBPress with a single word like “Computer” if works fine… but when I add “Computer Test” in the BBPress search it puts a “+” symbol between Computer and test in the URL string. If I remove the “+” and just use a space or a %20 it works fine.
I have this same problem. I have tried the solution of changing to a standard theme and to copying the content-search.php file to a folder within the current theme.
It works for a single word but as soon as I try two words I get “The resource you are looking for has been removed, had its name changed, or is temporarily unavailable.”
Any suggestions?
link to an example on your site please
At present the site is in development behind a firewall so I cannot share it, though this should change next week as I bring it live but then a username and password will be needed.
However, what I have identified is that when a two word search is made the resulting URL is
…/forums/search/worda+wordb/
This produces the error.
However if I change the URL to
/forums/search/holding%20tank/
It then works so the code is inserting the wrong word separator.
This seems to have been quoted before https://bbpress.org/forums/topic/forum-search-form-widget-space-between-words-returns-a-404/
Though that was some years ago.
I have already tried a standard theme.
Does this provide any clues?
ok, all I can say is that it works on my test site.
I am not a bbpress author, just a guy sat in his kitchen trying to help others
Sounds like me except, not the kitchen! Maybe it will work when I move it to a live site.
