Description

### Impacted plugin

Jetpack

### What

Improve compatibility with other plugins that use `?s=` so Jetpack Search doesn't override the search form.

This behaviour has been reported with Geodirectory and ActiveCampaign.

### How

This issue is to investigate compatibility between Jetpack Search and the [GeoDirectory](https://wpgeodirectory.com) WordPress plugin.

Research direction

No file or test is named. Start by reproducing Jetpack Search behavior with the GeoDirectory and ActiveCampaign plugins and inspect how searches using `?s=` are handled. Done means Jetpack Search no longer overrides compatible search forms and the behavior is verified with both reported plugins.
