CMS Made Simple Forums

I currently have a setup where I use the seach module as it is meant to, and also as a tagging module (meaning I use tags on product pages, blog pages etc, that are links to a search result page where the search result is that tag).

I use the GET method of the search module, and use a dedicated landing page so that my results come into the URL Now id like to use mod-rewrite to rewrite this URL to
So that you can share easy links with people and probably it will enhance SEO. But I'm no mod-rewrite hero. Does anyone know how this should be done using the rewriteCond and rewriteRule?

Thanks in advance,

Hi,
Can you share the full path structure that is used now in the URL? Also, are you using a search tag or just hardcoded links? And, do you have mod_rewrite working for regular pages?

Hey Johnny

At the moment my URL structure's like this:
I use mod-rewrite, fully functioning. Right now I use hardcoded links in my templates, but I'm thinking about replacing these with {module action} links and using the 'urlparam' option.

I found a very handy tool for this:

My rewriterule is now as follows: Placed directly below "rewriteengine on". I can now share links like this:

http://www.mydomain.com/tags/[SEARCHTERM].html and you'll end up on the search results page for the searchterm provided in the URL. I'll also start building a dynamic search-sitemap, based on the most commenly used search terms from the search module. Will post this when done.
