Last time i checked, Google does infact query strings. As some of my searches have lead to forums where the url is www.someurl.com/viewtopic.php?f=3&t=345 ect. I also belive there is a tutorial somewhere on the internet which converts the variables into folders, so it looks like the article is in some sort of directory structure.
