I want to add some links on the main page to predefined search results. Is there
a way to rewrite these urls and make them more search engine friendly? I have the SEO Module

http://www.yoursite.com/searchresult...t23=randomcity

How I want it to look
http://www.yoursite.com/randomcity-items-for sale.html

Yes this can be done. You would need to add a new line for each of these links to your htaccess file.

how would that then display 'type' 'opt1,opt2' etc?

**Eric Barnes** · 07-10-2008, 08:35 PM

Something like:

Code:

RewriteRule ^randomcity-items-for-sale\.html$ searchresults.php?searchtext=&type=&opt23=randomcity [NC]

Then the server should process the search results as normal only displaying the special file name. This would not work for paging results on that page though.
