I have blog container on the homepage.

Initially I posted my issue here on the forums a few months back  that when a user click on blog post on the homepage, the user stays on the homepage and I was told here  that this is by design because of url rewriting rule.

I was advised to change  this:
<rewrite url="^(.*)/(.*)/post/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(\?(.+))?$" to="$1/$2.aspx?BlogSlug=$3&BlogPostId=$4&$7" name="BlogPost" defaultPage="/Blog.aspx" urlPattern="/{PageName}/post/{Blog.Slug}/{IdentityId}/{Slug}/" />

To this:
<rewrite url="^(.*)/(.*)/post/(.*)/(.*)/(.*)/(\?(.+))?$" to="$1/$2.aspx?BlogSlug=$3&BlogPostId=$4&$7" name="BlogPost" defaultPage="/Blog.aspx" urlPattern="/Blog/post/{Blog.Slug}/{IdentityId}/{Slug}/" />

But with this url  rewrite rule, when any user use search option and click on any blog post from the search result, it never redirect the user to that post and gives page not found error.

Page not found
 
We couldn't find the page you requested.

Hi super,

Try setting BlogDisplayUrl to empty, as you can see from the error log it doesn't resolve the url correctly with your combination.
<add key="BlogDisplayUrl" value="" />
Regards,
Igor

1)  Tilde  "&#126;/" at the start of the url wasn't resolved when there is no {PageName} in the urlPattern, if you look at the link "href" it shows url with  &#126;/ so request goes to "{root}/current/directory/&#126;/wrong" instead of "{root}/right"

 2) There's a third option when "BlogDisplayUrl" is empty which resolves "&#126;/" to root.  "BlogDisplayUrl" is passed to rewriter method as the "caller" url.
