Could it be related to the new "strict language routing" in 7.5?

Try add a {language} segment to your route, as  "{language}/{node}/{action}/{searchTerm}/{page}"

Thanks for the feedback. I've tried

            routes.MapContentRoute(
                name: "Search",
                url: "{language}/{node}/{action}/{searchTerm}/{page}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Search", action = "Index", searchTerm = UrlParameter.Optional, page = UrlParameter.Optional }
              );

Unfortunately the route doesn't work and the start page is broken again

This might work:

            routes.MapEnterpriseRoutes(
                name: "Search",
                url: "{language}/{node}/{searchTerm}/{page}/{action}",
                defaults: new { controller = "Search", action = "Index", searchTerm = UrlParameter.Optional, page = UrlParameter.Optional }
);

Brilliant. Thank you Per. That works

Actually it's not the routes that have fixed it. It is the use of 

MapEnterpriseRoutes

instead of

MapContentRoute

I think i need to go back and do some reading.

It might be that the route starts to from wrong content root. If no content root is specified in MapContentRoute it will start from SiteDefinition.Current.RootPage. In your case you might want to start route from start page. If so you could use the overload to MapContentRoute that takes in a contentRootResolver delegate and pass in 

(s) => s.StartPage 

as the delegate parameter

Just tried the above and that works too. Thanks

Actually this is still broken. It actually hits the home controller as well as the search controller. Having the custom route runs the home controller in addition to the actually requested controller.

Anyone any ideas what might be going on?

Actually it's the favicon causing the problem. See here for solution

Has anyone successfully gotten this to work "MapContentRoute".  Johan, i am not sure i understand passing in the (s)=>  as a delagte.  I am on 7.5 patch 10, or should I say 7.6.  If i use mapenterprise route, it works but all my 404 handling disappears and i still hit the start page. even though the page isn't found

I did get this to work.  On the other head, is there a way to remove "Index" from the url?

         routes.MapContentRoute(
                     "SearchPage",
                     "{language}/{node}/{action}/{pageIndex}/{searchTerm}",
                     new
                     {
                         controller = "SearchPage",
                         action = "paging",
                         pageIndex = UrlParameter.Optional,
                         searchTerm = UrlParameter.Optional
                     }, (s) => s.StartPage);

Hey Joshua, if you still need this, here is how: http://www.mogul.com/en/about-mogul/blog/registering-a-route-with-an-optional-action-segment-in-episerver-75-and-on
