stop words in munge_to_url()

Post by Foaly* »

Hey guys,

wouldn't it be nice to have a stop words list for pages' aliases like that one in the search module. So instead of domain.com/this-and-that.html we would have domain.com/this-that.html. To my mind that's also better for SEO.

Cheers

Slightly unrelated, but I wish we had control over punctuation that is ignored in search.. For example, a search for F-22 (fighter plane) will break up into 'F' and '22', both being ignored, as it's less than 3 characters..... Easy fix, remove the '-' from a particular line of code, but it would be nice if we could control that from the admin panel.... Had to do this to two aviation websites.
