Is there a way to make passing queries in IIS searchengine friendly. As you know, serach engines such as google will not spider urls with ? and = signs in them. Is there anyway to get around this besided writing a custom 404 page?
Correct me iof I am wrong, but if you search for something in google (e.g. 'microsoft knowledge') you will get pages which have URLS containing these charachters. How do they do that?
Thank for any information

Um... I don't think google cares... I have several pages spidered by google that contain ?'s and ='s.

...yes, when I search they show up on google's site w/ the characters.

Something like this: http://www.xde.net/products/product_xqasp.htm may help you.

There are several 'programs' like this - but I've yet to find a free one.
