hi all,

On one of my sites we make extensive use of variable passed through the
url, particullarly for browsing the main content of the site which is
organised into main and sub categories, eg
browse.php?maincat=Weather&subcat=sunny kind of thing.

I understand from colleagues who know much on these things that public
search engines bots (eg google) stop parsing thru that part of the site
when they reach a '?' (I could well be wrong on this).

a way around this that I have heard is installing the mod_rewrite module
in apache and mapping browse/weather/sunny to
browse.php?maincat=weather&subcat=sunny.

Would this in fact even  fix the problem? Its a hard thing to test!

Does anyone have any experience using this? And what is the advice from
people on how best to get google&co to spider your site and find your
content effectively?

Thanks in advance

Tom
